What were we when mer­cy found us?
Captives un­to death and sin;
Clouds and dark­ness closed around us,
All was hope­less night within.

Refrain

We were lost, but Je­sus found us,
Burst the bonds of death that bound us,
Wrapped the robe of grace around us,
And the heirs of glo­ry crowned us.

What are we since mer­cy found us?
Blameless, spot­less in His sight;
Sons and saints His Word has crowned us,
Called to walk with Him in light.

Refrain

What we shall be? That’s a sto­ry
Never ut­tered, or ex­pressed;
We shall see Him in His glo­ry,
And be fold­ed to His breast.

Refrain
