I once was lost but then You found me and loved me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away (away)



Who am I? Just a thief nobody cares about

The kind that would run up in your house steal your jewels and couch

Been on the run for so long

But they caught me now

They hung me on this cross I'm on and I see the crowd

But next to me is someone who I've heard about

They say He heals the blind and lame but I got my doubts

So what's His name I can't remember 

Someone screamed it out said it was Jesus 

But this man he didn't make a sound

He hung there breathing with the blood running down His mouth

He'd been beaten a crown of thorns now was on his brow

See what I've done is just the reason why I'm hanging now

But this man is innocent and I can see it now

I said, "Jesus are you listening do you hear me now

Remember me just on the day You bring Your kingdom down

I want to change my ways I really want Your freedom now,"

He took my sin away and this is why I say it loud



I once was lost but then You found me and loved me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away (away)



He turned His head and said Today you're gonna be with Me

Cause very soon I'll be dead but I'm a set you free

Cause every drop that I've bled is so what you would see

That it was shed for you to be with Me eternally

The other thief he just laughed at what He said to me

"He said you ain't comin' back

You're nothin' what you claim to be

If you was ?chained? then why are you haning next to me"

See what I think is you're a liar and it's plain to see

But Jesus was silent and soon time began to pass

He cried "It is finished" and went and breathed his last

He died in the sky was rumbling and started turning black

But I knew He'd come again because I knew the facts

My time to die is coming soon and it's coming fast

It's hard to breathe I'm trying to began to gasp

I can't deny what is true cause it's all I have

Now I knew that paradise is where I'm heading at



I once was lost but then You found me and loved me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away (away)



(Bridged)

I had a debt I could not pay

Your love broke through took it away

I once was lost now I'm found to You I make this joyful sound

Please remember me Lord when You come again

Time is passing by my life is coming to the end

I'm about to die it's time so please let me in

Please remember me Lord when You come again



I once was lost but then You found me and loved me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost You showed me how You bought me

And I'm never gonna look away

No I'm never gonna look away
