Found
By  j o n  c o d e r


Another day has started and I’m already tired
I’m just sitting here look out the window of my eyes
The scenery changes but things remain the same,
Same as yesterday


And I’m lost; I’m lost inside of me, inside of me
And I’m crying’, crying’ out to you, can you hear me?


The clock outside say 3 o’clock again, happens every day
People go by living their other people lives
My life goes by and I wonder where its going, can I come?


And I’m lost, I’m lost inside of me, inside of me
And I’m drowning, in an ocean of my pride


In my darkness You’re a light that comforts me

And I’m found; I’m found in You, inside Your love
And Your mercies, they cover all of me, God I love You
I love You…

Found has become one of my favorite songs.  It was written in the middle of a really hard time.  Its just about how hard life can get when you forget why your living it.
But every time I sing it now I see how God brought me through that time and how God has blessed daily.  Its through the hard times that God teaches us to rely on Him.

Found was written one day while I was sitting in my dorm room my sophomore year of college.  I was so depressed with life that as soon as I finished class everyday I would go back to my room and sit there just looking out the window.  I picked up my guitar and just starting singing about what I saw and how I felt. 

From my third floor window I watched the people below run around,  I could see the library clock and the endless blue sky.  And then as I was singing God revealed to me the amazing truth that He is still there in the hard times and He was my light.  And I felt that I had been found.
