lyrics

I was lost
In a world of sin
But Jesus (Jesus)
Took me in
I was blind
And I could not see
You know that (Jesus)
Took me in (it’s what I had to do)
You know what I done
I had to go down on my knees
And I called on the lord
and these are the words I did

You know I kept on (searchin’)
Lord I kept on (searchin’)
You see (searchin’)
Something got a hold to me
And I couldn’t hold my peace (searchin’)
Lord I know it was something on the inside of me (searchin’)
Workin’ on the outside
And I know it weren’t nothin’ but Jesus (searchin’)
I just tried to to keep on, keep on (searchin’)
Somebody cried one Monday (oh, searchin’)
Monday’s alright, y’all, somebody said it were on Tuesday (searchin’)
Yeah, but Tuesday alright too, somebody said Wednesday (searchin’)
Yeah, yeah
But it was late one Thursday night (searchin’)
When I found the lord (found him)
Y’know I found him
I found the lord (found him)
Yes I did
Late one Thursday night (oh, found him)
Something got a hold to me and it wouldn’t turn me loose (found him)
Y’know when you get something good on the inside
You can’t keep it on the inside (found him)
You got to run and tell somebody (found him)
Somebody out there, if you feel the way I feel, yeah (found him)
Lord, if I were you, if I were you (found him)
Still walkin’ around and singin’

I search your heart (found him)
Yes I will, yes I will
I keep on searchin’ (found him)
Yes I will, yes I will
Until I found him (found him)
God is good tonight
He is so good (found him)
So good to me
I can tell the world (found him)
I love him, I love him
I can’t, I can’t give him up (found him)
Come on y’all, come on y’all (found him)
(Found him)
(Found him)
Yes sir, yes sir
Thank you, thank you, thank you
(Found him)
