Lost and Found Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus
I wanna be a new creation
Far from the biggest of God's right hand
i wanna be a new creation
God's gonna make me
God's gonna make me
God's gonna make me stand

i wanna see like Daniel
i wanna love like John
i wanna hope like mary
be the rock that's built upon
i wanna laugh like Sarah
i wanna Preach like Paul
i wanna live like Lazarus
play my trumpet and watch the crumbling wall

I wanna be a new creation
Far from the biggest of God's right hand
i wanna be a new creation
God's gonna make me stand

i wanna trust like Noah
i want to pray like simeon prayed
i wanna be the coin that the finder finds
but if i never move the mountains
and if i never part the sea

and if i never slay the Giant
God do what you want with me
