[Verse 1]
              G         C   D      G
I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
            Em      C          G      D
He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
           C               D      Em
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
           C      D              G
It was not I, no, I was found of thee.
 
 
[Chorus]
            D
Not I, but Christ;
           Em       C
Not I, but Christ.
             G        D
Thou art the seeker,
           Em     C
And I the found.
              G      D
Thou art the seeker,
          G       C  G  C
And I the found.
 
 
[Verse 2]
                  G        C        D       G
Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;
             Em       C       G     D
I walked and sank not on the stormy sea;
             C               D        Em
’Twas not so much that I on thee took hold;
              C         D             G
As thou, dear Lord, had taken hold of me.
 
 
[Chorus]
           D
Not I, but Christ;
            Em     C
Not I, but Christ.
             G       D
Thou art the seeker,
          Em     C
And I the found.
              G       D
Thou art the seeker,
          G      C  G C
And I the found.
 
 
[Verse 3]
               G        C       D       G
What but such grace can woo my heart to love—
           Em       C        G          D
To worship thee and seek my neighbor’s best?
            C               D         Em
When in the end I reach the heav’ns above,
            C          D           G
All was of grace that lifted me to rest.
 
 
[Chorus]
           D
Not I, but Christ;
            Em     C
Not I, but Christ.
             G       D
Thou art the seeker,
          Em     C
And I the found.
              G       D
Thou art the seeker,
          G
And I the found.
 
 
[Refrain]
         D
Glory to God,
           Em    C
And to the Son,
            G       D
And to the Spirit,
          Em     C
For I am found.
            G      D
To God the glory,
          G
For I am found.
