I have found it
I have found it
New life in Jesus Christ
I have love and peace
I have joy and hope
All in Jesus Christ
I have found it
I have found it
New life in Jesus Christ
I have love and peace
I have joy and hope
All in Jesus Christ
There is love
There is peace in the Lord
He gives me hope
He gives me Joy
I have sought after them
In diverse ways
But Jesus only can satisfy me
There is love, love yes love
There is peace in the Lord
He gives me Joy, He gives me hope
I have sought after them
In diverse ways
But Jesus only can satisfy me
I have found it
I have found it
New life in Jesus Christ
I have love and peace
I have joy and hope
All in Jesus Christ
There is love, love yes love for you
There is peace for you too
He gives you joy, He gives you hope
You have sought after them
In diverse ways
But Jesus only can satisfy You
I have found it
I have found it
New life in Jesus Christ
I have love and peace
I have joy and hope
All in Jesus Christ

Meaning & Inspiration
I Have Found It celebrates the conviction that love, peace, joy, hope, and new life are found in Jesus Christ. Its repeated opening works as a testimony of discovery, while the later verses explain that searching in many directions did not bring lasting satisfaction. The contrast is uncomplicated: other pursuits proved insufficient, but Christ supplies what the soul had been seeking. Repetition gives the central confession the character of communal praise.
The song moves from personal testimony to an invitation that extends the same promise to others. That shift supports its message that the gifts named in the refrain are available through the Lord rather than reserved for one person. Its themes closely align with biblical teaching about life in Christ and the joy and peace that accompany trust in God. The language of satisfaction also recalls passages describing God as the one who fills spiritual hunger with good things. Overall, the song presents Christian assurance through a concise list of gifts received in Christ.
