Lost and Found (Remastered)

There’s joy that starts in heaven When a single heart is found A quiet light that fills the house And turns it all around

A shepherd counts the mountains Nine and nine in place One small voice is missing Fading into space

He leaves the open pasture Night wind on his face Till love lifts up the wanderer And carries him back safe

For the world keeps turning like no one ever knew When heaven shouts a hallelujah When one comes back to you Lost and found, your mercy’s running out to me

Over hills and rivers Through the thorns and on the sea When I couldn’t make a sound

Your kindness called me home I was lost And now I’m found

A woman lights a lantern Sweeping every side Searching for the silver that somehow slipped to hide She finds the gleam she’s missing

And neighbors hear her sing Come share my joy this evening For the coin I couldn’t bring Little things forgotten in the cracks along the floor

Your love will cross the darkness And open every door Lost and found Your mercies running out to me

Over hills and rivers Through the thorns and on the sea When I could make a sound

Your kindness called me home I was lost And now I’m found

I took my share of daylight Spent it on the night Hungry in a far land With nothing left but pride

I turned my face to homework Rehearsed a servant’s plea But you ran out to meet me And put your robe on me

A ring upon my finger Sandals on my feet Begin the feast of mercy My son is home with me

And to the field-worn brother Whose anger fills the room All I have is with you Won’t you share this joy, this tomb

Oh, lost and found Your purses running after me Over hills and rivers Through the thorns and off the sea

When I couldn’t make a sound Your kindness called me home I was lost I was lost

And now I’m found Hallelujah I’m found Heaven’s song

Heaven’s song is rising Where a single heart is found
