What is the name of the song and who is it by where they say i was lost but now I'm found that was played yesterday on 89.7 the river?

Answer 1

The song containing the phrase 'I was lost but now I'm found' is a Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton. Its full name is "Amazing Grace".

The words to the hymn are:-

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught

my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far

and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

and mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

a life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise

then when we've first begun.

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now, I see.
