God Found Us

I was looking through the lyrics to a song yesterday and as I read the words I was completely floored, what I saw were lyric based on the personal nature of the person who wrote it as I would no doubt guess and whilst I may have come nowhere this personal declaration there are people out there who are facing this same thing and same thoughts and the song just so happens to be You found Me by The Fray

"You Found Me"

[Verse 1]
I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything".

[Verse 2]
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

[Chorus 1]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Verse 3]
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

[Chorus 2]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

[Bridge]
Early morning
The city breaks
I've been callin'
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
Ya never send me no letters
You got some kinda nerve
Taking all I want

[Chorus 3 and outro]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Why'd you have to wait?
To find me, to find me 


As you read the words and just travel down, what you see is someone completely filled with anger over certain situation in his life and goes out on an all out mission to blame God for all the pain he has suffered and how often do we as people face storms in our life (and I tell you if they haven't come watch out because they will come) blame God and just dwell and feed that blame until it completely consumes them and at the same time misses the boat and fails to see Gods hand at work in all those situations.


Rom 8:28  And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 


This passage from Romans tells of the one promise from God that whatever storms we face that Gods hand is in it all working it out for good and I wonder if the writer of that Fray song knows that. What I like though is the writer goes on to say in short "You Found Me". I hear people say in their testimonies "I found God" to which I say, I didn't know he was lost. God found us and he finds us at exactly the right time, not too late and not too early and he meets us where we are issues and all.
