Never Look Away

I once was lost
But then You found me, loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost
You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away, away

Now who am I? The thief nobody cares about
The kind that run up in your house, steal your jewels and couch
Been on the run for so long but they caught me now
They hung me on this cross so long and I see the crowd
But next to me is someone who I heard about
They said He heals the blind an lame but I got my doubts
So what's His name? I can't remember
Someone screamed it out, said, it was Jesus
But this Man, He didn't make a sound

He hung there breathing with the blood runnin' down His mouth
He had been beaten, crown of thorns now was on His brow
See, what I've done is just the reason why I'm hangin' now
But this man is innocent and I can see it now
I said "Jesus, are You listenin'? You hear me now?
Remember me just on the day you bring Your kingdom down
I wanna change my ways, I really want Ya freedom now
He took my sin away and this is why I say it now

I once was lost
But then You found me, loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost
You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away, away

He turned His head and said, "Today ya gonna be with Me
'Cause very soon, I'll be dead but I'm a set you free
'Cause every drop that I bled is so that you will see
That it was shed for you to be with Me eternally"
The other thief, he just laughed at what He said to me
Said, "You ain't comin' back, Ya nothing what you claim to be
If You was King, then why they hang Ya next to me?
See, what I think is that You're a liar and it's plain to see"

But Jesus silent and soon the time begin to pass
He cried, "It is finished" and went an breathed His last
He died, the sky was rumblin', it started turnin' black
But I knew He'd come again because I knew the facts
My time to die is comin' soon and it's comin' fast
It's hard to breathe, I'm tryin' to, I begin to gasp
I can't deny what is true 'cause it's all I have
And now I knew the Paradise was where I'm heading now

I once was lost
But then You found me, loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost
You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away, away

I had a debt I could not pay
Your love broke through took it away
I once was lost but now I'm found
To you, I make this joyful sound

Please remember me, Lord, when you come again
Time is passin' by, my life is comin' to the end
I'm about to die, it's time, so please let me in
Please remember me, Lord, just when you come again

Please remember me, Lord, when you come again
Time is passin' by, my life is comin' to the end
I'm about to die, it's time, so please let me in
Please remember me, Lord, just when you come again

I once was lost
But then You found me, loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost
You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away, away

I once was lost
But then You found me, loved me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away

You paid the cost
You showed me how You bought me
And I'm never gonna look away
No, I'm never gonna look away, away
