Lyrics
Verse 1
Out of the dark, straight to my heart
Your love came and found me here,
I'm never the same, forever I'm changed
by a love so amazing.
Chorus
Found! Found! Found in Your love
I'm found! Found! No longer lost
I'm found! Found in Your love,
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, found in Your love.
Verse 2
Fear left behind, now I'm alive
with hope racing through my veins,
Living in light, a glorious life
I've traded my past for praise.
Pre-Chorus 2
I was a stray, You showed me grace - now I'm...
Chorus
Bridge
From death to life, from dark to light,
From fear to faith - forever changed

Meaning & Inspiration
“Found” describes a decisive change from darkness, fear, and spiritual wandering into love, grace, and hope. The repeated declaration of being found gives the song its central image: a lost person is reached by divine love and no longer remains defined by the former condition. Images of light and new life reinforce that movement, while the verses describe its effects as freedom from fear, living hope, praise, and a changed identity.
The language may recall the lost sheep in Luke 15, where the shepherd searches for the one that has strayed and rejoices when it is found. Its contrast between death and life also aligns with Ephesians 2:4-5, which speaks of God making people alive with Christ because of mercy and love. The movement from darkness to light echoes Colossians 1:13. Rather than dwelling on the past, the song emphasizes grace as the cause of transformation and praise as its response, making its brief declarations a celebration of rescue and renewed life in God’s love.
