I Lose Myself

I Lose Myself

Nov 2

Written By Kirsten Johnson

I long to be held

To be loved

To feel special

I long to be told that I matter

So I search for the arms that are extended

To hold me and make things better

I search for the one who will whisper I love you

I fall for a love that will not last forever

I lose myself to the need within me

I lose my senses for the sake of security

Desperately searching for someone to love me

I lose myself

I lose myself

The pain of the past was too hard to bear

So I searched for ways to ease it all

I found little relief from the pain of my life

Through the lies I was promised too many times

I was lost in a world that offered no hope

Wondering aimlessly with no direction

I lose myself to the pain within me

I lose my senses for the sake of security

Desperately searching for something to save me

I lose myself

I lose myself

I’ve found myself in the deepest of valleys

Wondering if there’s a way out

The walls of my life are collapsing around me

And the ground that is shaky feels like quick sand devouring me

I’ve lost myself to the sorrow within me

I’ve lost all senses for the sake of my sanity

Desperately searching for somewhere that would save me

I’ve lost myself

I’ve lost myself

In my longing and pain

In my desperation and sorrow

I fell to my knees and I surrendered

I surrender

I fall in the arms of The One who loves me

I was lost in this world

But now I am found

He loved me and saved me

He calls me His own

I’m free from the chains that once held me bound

He’s given me hope in a world I thought hopeless

He is my refuge

My solid ground

I lose myself to His Spirit within me

I lose my senses for the assurance of eternity

Turning to The One whose death has saved me
