lyrics
Verse 1
It's just the hardest thing to do right now
Let go of the "why?" and "how?"
And give it all, give it all to you
I know that there's a season
And in time I'll see the reason
But oh this fickle heart just won't heed what it needs to
Chorus
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself to you
Rap 1
Once upon a time I pursued selfish pleasures
Now I find I have just one endeavour
And that is to please you, just you
I’m made brand new in everything that I do
As I lose myself in the moment with you
I find there’s some same old things that I don’t want to do
This life is overwhelming ‘til I cried out for help
And yes, I lived reality until I lost myself
I confess
Verse 2
I've got a lot of things on my mind
Cause there is something I have yet to find
Something that, something that's beyond here
How do I die to myself?
When everyone says I must be true to myself?
And all that I, all that I hold dear
Rap 2
I eagerly expect that I won’t be ashamed
I’m not here to chase all of the money and fame
Put a fire in me that can’t be contained
For me to live is Christ and to die is to gain
I’m giving it up though I thought I had enough
I’m made brand new and my heart is only for you
So we’re here to stick it out cause the world needs to see:
Alive we’re Christ’s messengers but dead we’re his bounty
It's just the hardest thing to do right now
Let go of the "why?" and "how?"
And give it all, give it all to you
I know that there's a season
And in time I'll see the reason
But oh this fickle heart just won't heed what it needs to
Chorus
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself
I’m losing myself to you
Rap 1
Once upon a time I pursued selfish pleasures
Now I find I have just one endeavour
And that is to please you, just you
I’m made brand new in everything that I do
As I lose myself in the moment with you
I find there’s some same old things that I don’t want to do
This life is overwhelming ‘til I cried out for help
And yes, I lived reality until I lost myself
I confess
Verse 2
I've got a lot of things on my mind
Cause there is something I have yet to find
Something that, something that's beyond here
How do I die to myself?
When everyone says I must be true to myself?
And all that I, all that I hold dear
Rap 2
I eagerly expect that I won’t be ashamed
I’m not here to chase all of the money and fame
Put a fire in me that can’t be contained
For me to live is Christ and to die is to gain
I’m giving it up though I thought I had enough
I’m made brand new and my heart is only for you
So we’re here to stick it out cause the world needs to see:
Alive we’re Christ’s messengers but dead we’re his bounty
