I WAS LOOKING FOR THINGS
I THOUGHT I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT.
I HAD ALL THE WRONG IDEAS,
THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT.
I THOUGHT I WAS BEIN'
ALL THAT I COULD BE
'TIL I FOUND JESUS
WHO WAS LOOKIN' FOR ME
HE SAID "CHILD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
I'VE BEEN WANTING FOR SO LONG
TO BE YOUR BIG BROTHER AND
KEEP YOU FROM ALL WRONG.
BUT YOU'D JUST TURN AWAY AND
FIND OTHER THINGS TO DO
AND I'D HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER TIME
TO TRY TO TALK TO YOU."
I WAS LOOKIN' FOR FRIENDS AND FUN
AND JUST WOUND UP IN JAIL
ALWAYS IN TROUBLE
WITH NO ONE TO PAY MY BAIL
I THOUGHT I WAS BEIN'
A GUY THAT'S WILD AND FREE
'TIL I FOUND JESUS
WHO'D BEEN LOOKING FOR ME.
HE SAID "SON I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN JAIL
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN TROUBLE
I'VE ALREADY PAID YOUR BAIL
I'LL MAKE YOU A CHILD OF GOD
WHO REALLY IS SET FREE."
THE DAY THAT I FOUND JESUS
WHO'D BEEN LOOKIN' FOR ME
