Lost and Found

6

Lost and found, Lost and found

Lost and found are we.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save

What was lost which is you and me,

What was lost which is you and me.


There was a wealthy man who had two grown up sons,

The younger son wanted to be free.

So he asked his father for half of his gold

Far countries he might see,

Far countries he might see.


But he wasted his money on pleasures that were wild

Till at length he was starved and in need.

He got himself a job with a man who tended pigs

But the pigs were treated better than he was.

The pigs were treated better that he.


He was living with the pigs, hungry, all alone

When he came to himself and turned around.

He’d go back to his father, he was sorry for his sin

With his father he’d be safe and sound,

With his father he’d be safe and sound.


Lost and found, Lost and found

Lost and found are we.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save

What was lost which is you and me,

What was lost which is you and me.


Now his father was so pleased his son was still alive

He gave him new best clothes and a ring.

Let’s feast and celebrate that my son who until lately

Was lost but now is found,

Was lost for dead but now is found.


Lost and found, Lost and found

Lost and found are we.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save

What was lost which is you and me,

What was lost which is you and me.
