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
I lose myself
I lose myself
