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.
