Many years I searched for rest
Perfect peace within my breast,
And I often sought the Lord alone in tears.
But 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.
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
Then one day while knelt in prayer,
Jesus whispered to me there,
Take your Cross and follow Me to Calvary.
Oh, how sad it was to die, and all self to crucify,
Just to 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, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
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, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
Let me lose myself And find it, Lord, in Thee.
