IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT LET ME LOSE MY SELF AND FIND IT LORD IN THEE

We hear a lot more about what we gain in Christ, than what we must lose to know Christ. This classic hymn is seldom sung but powerfully true. May it be our prayer and our experience. Many years I longed for rest, perfect peace within my breast And I often sought the Lord alone in prayer But I would not pay the price, would not make the sacrifice, So I wandered on and on for many years. Then one day while bowed in prayer Jesus whispered to me there, take the cross and follow me to Calvary, Oh how hard it was to die, all my self to crucify Just to lose my life and find it Lord in Thee. Let me lose my life, and find it Lord in Thee, May all self be slain, my friends see only Thee, Though it cost me grief and pain, I will find my life again, If I lose my life, I’ll find it Lord in Thee, Now the blood has been applied, through his power I’m sanctified, And the Savior gives me constant victory, Yes He took away my sin, washed and made be pure within, I lost my life and found it Lord in Thee, Lord, I would not stand alone, when I come before thy throne, Let me bring at least one soul Oh Lord to Thee, Here I give myself away, Take and use me Lord I pray Let me lose my life and find it Lord in Thee.
