Seeking for Me

Once I was bound, but Je­sus re­leased me;
Once I was blind, but now I can see.
Over the mount­ains lone­ly I wan­dered,
Jesus, my friend, came seek­ing for me.

Refrain

Seeking for me, came seek­ing for me,
Jesus, my friend, came seek­ing for me;
Over the mount­ains lone­ly I wan­dered;
Jesus, my friend, came seek­ing for me.

Weeping, I longed for grace and for par­don,
Prayed from my load of sin to be free.
Then, as I cried in help­less con­tri­tion,
Jesus, my friend, came seek­ing for me.

Refrain

Filled with the joy of pre­sent sal­va­tion,
Washed in the blood once shed on the tree,
This be my song thro’ ag­es eter­nal:
Jesus, my friend, came seek­ing for me.

Refrain

Oh, for the harp of ser­aph to praise Him,
Oh, for the tongue of an­gel to sing.
Glory to Je­sus! I will ad­ore Him,
I am adopt­ed, child of a king.
