Lord, sometimes I think Your heart
is one big room of lost and found,
holding dear the timeless treasures
that I’ve lost through selfishness.
Let me look into Your heart, Lord
Is my care for hurting ones there?
Is my thanks for life and beauty there?
Is the faith I felt so keenly there?
Is my deep hunger for You waiting there?
Lord, You hold all that I value most,
it’s there in the depths of Your heart.
Please look into your lost and found;
help me find the best of what I’ve lost,
to discover the values I’ve misplaces
and some of the treasures I’ve tossed away.
