THE LIFE WE LOSE TO FIND (Theme: For Whoever Would Save His Life Will Lose It, but Whoever Loses His Life for My Sake Will Save It. — Luke 9:24) Verse 1 I spent a lifetime building up a fortress made of pride, Trying to protect the little kingdom deep inside. I guarded every asset, and I managed every view, Anxious that I’d lose the things I thought that I was due. The world will tell you "save yourself, protect your own frontier, Insure your own survival in the shadow of the fear." But the tighter that I held it, the more it turned to dust, And the fortress that I built became a prison cell of rust. For you cannot keep a breath of air by holding in your chest, And you cannot find your purpose by refusing to be pressed. Chorus For whoever wants to save his life will lose it in the sand! Watching all his treasures tumble right out of his hand. But whoever loses his life for My sake and My name, Will find the hidden glory that the shadows cannot tame! Let go of the control, drop the frantic human drive, For the ones who die with Jesus are the ones who come alive! Verse 2 To lose your life for Jesus means you're stepping off the stage, Tearing out the selfish lines you wrote upon the page. It means you take your cross up daily, moving through the gate, Refusing to be governed by ambition or by hate. It’s a beautiful surrender where you clench your fists no more, Leaving all your rights and your agendas at the door. For the Savior didn't save His life when hanging on the tree, He poured it out in sorrow just to purchase you and me. And the grave could not retain Him, and the stone was rolled away, Showing us the pattern for the resurrection day! Chorus For whoever wants to save his life will lose it in the sand! Watching all his treasures tumble right out of his hand. But whoever loses his life for My sake and My name, Will find the hidden glory that the shadows cannot tame! Let go of the control, drop the frantic human drive, For the ones who die with Jesus are the ones who come alive! Bridge Let Go! (Let Go!) Let Die! (Let Die!) Look up to... (The open sky!) Lose All! (Lose All!) Find More! (Find More!) Stepping through... (The narrow door!) For My Sake! Chorus For whoever wants to save his life will lose it in the sand! Watching all his treasures tumble right out of his hand. But whoever loses his life for My sake and My name, Will find the hidden glory that the shadows cannot tame! Let go of the control, drop the frantic human drive, For the ones who die with Jesus are the ones who come alive! #lifewelosetofind #praiseandworship #worshipmusic #gospelmusic #music
