Many years I searched for rest (many, many years I searched)
Perfect peace within my breast (I believe you)
And I often sought the Lord alone in tears...
But I could not pay the price (I could not pay the price)
Would not make the sacrifice
So I wandered on and on for many years...
Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee (let me find myself, myself in Thee, dear Lord)
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee (Lord help me do it with my self be slain)
Though it costs me grief and pain
I will find my life again
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee (oh, help me to find myself in Thee, dear Jesus)
Then one day while knelt in prayer
Jesus whispered to me there (take your croos)
Take your cross and follow Me to Calvary... (thank You, Jesus)
Oh, how sad it was to die, and all self to crucify
Just to lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee (help me Jesus, help me Lord)
Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee (let me find myself in Thee, dear Jesus)
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee (be in Thee alone, dear God)
Though it costs me grief and pain
I will find my life again (without a shadow)
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee...
Lord I could not stand alone
When I bow before Thy Throne
Let me bring, dear Lord, at least one soul to Thee...
Here, I give myself away
Take me, use me, Lord I pray
Lest I lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee...
Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee... (may all self be slain, my friend)
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee (though it costs me grief and pain)
Though it costs me grief and pain (without a doubt I know, I'll find a new life)
I will find my life again (help me Lord, help me Lord)
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee (help me to lose myself)
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee
Help me Jesus
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee (help me to lose myself)
Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee...
