Lyrics

Oh, I sought so long for some­thing,
That would give me joy and peace with­in;
Till at last I came to Je­sus
And He cleansed my heart from ev­ery sin.

Refrain

Oh I’ve found Him, yes, I’ve found Him,
And what won­ders in my life He has wrought,
Oh I’ve found Him, yes, I’ve found Him,
Him for whom my soul so long had sought.

My poor heart was oh so hun­gry,
And the world was full of sin and strife;
But one day I met my Sav­ior
And now I have eter­nal life.

Refrain

Since I’ve found my bless­èd Sav­ior,
Life is filled with peace and per­fect love;
And my gaze that once was earth­ward,
Now is firm­ly fixed on Heav’n above.
