Deep in the backwoods
I went walking one day
No one to guide me
And I lost my way
There through the trees
In the valley below
Beautiful voices were singing
And it did my heart so:
I found the Lord!
I found the Lord!
(repeat)
It's a happy day!
I found Jesus Christ!
He was a comin' for me!
I found the Lord!
I found the Lord in the country
I found the Lord in the country
I knew he was comin'
To show me the way
I knew he was comin'
Before judgement day
And Lord now I listen
To what the Good Book says
Lord now I know why I'm living
It's the first page I've read.
I found the Lord
I'm so glad
I found Jesus
I have Jesus
I can hear him comin'
Let me tell you now
I found the Lord in the country
I went walking one day
No one to guide me
And I lost my way
There through the trees
In the valley below
Beautiful voices were singing
And it did my heart so:
I found the Lord!
I found the Lord!
(repeat)
It's a happy day!
I found Jesus Christ!
He was a comin' for me!
I found the Lord!
I found the Lord in the country
I found the Lord in the country
I knew he was comin'
To show me the way
I knew he was comin'
Before judgement day
And Lord now I listen
To what the Good Book says
Lord now I know why I'm living
It's the first page I've read.
I found the Lord
I'm so glad
I found Jesus
I have Jesus
I can hear him comin'
Let me tell you now
I found the Lord in the country
