Cory Asbury - Lost For Words Lyrics
Lyrics
I'm lost for words
I'm lost for words
To describe how I love you
I'm lost for words
I'm lost for words
To describe how I love you
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the comprehension
Of how you love me, How you love me
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the contradiction
I am losing myself
Only to gain more of you
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the rhythm
Of your heart beat, How your heart beats
I'm lost for words
I'm lost for words
To describe how I love you
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the comprehension
Of how you love me, How you love me
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the contradiction
I am losing myself
Only to gain more of you
I am lost in your love, I am lost in your love
I am lost in the rhythm
Of your heart beat, How your heart beats
I am swept in your flood ( I am swept in your flood )
I am washed by your blood ( I am washed by your blood )
I am swept in your flood ( I am swept in your flood )
I am washed by your love ( I am washed by your love )
I'm lost for words, I'm lost for words
To describe how I love you
I'm lost for words, I'm lost for words
To describe how I love you

Meaning & Inspiration
"Lost for Words," released in 2011 as part of Cory Asbury's album of the same name, is a profound declaration of divine love that transcends mere human articulation. The core message of this song is the overwhelming, incomprehensible nature of God's affection, a love so immense that it renders the singer speechless. Asbury grapples with a love that defies simple explanation, a sentiment echoed in scripture by the Apostle Paul's plea in Ephesians 3:18-19: "And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." The lyrics express a state of being utterly lost within this divine embrace, a surrender that paradoxically leads to a deeper discovery of self through Him. This concept aligns with Jesus' teaching in John 12:25, "Whoever loves their life will lose it, but whoever hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." The experience of being "lost in the comprehension" of God's love speaks to the infinite wisdom and grace of our Creator, a love that God initiated and sustains, as described in 1 John 4:10: "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
The song masterfully conveys the transformative power of this love, illustrating it through the imagery of being "swept in your flood" and "washed by your blood." These phrases evoke powerful biblical metaphors for redemption and cleansing. The "blood" likely refers to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of Christian faith, as highlighted in Hebrews 9:14, where the blood of Christ purifies our conscience. The "flood" can be interpreted as the abundant, all-encompassing nature of God's grace that washes over believers, bringing renewal and life, much like the living water Jesus promised in John 4:14. Asbury’s confession of being "lost for words" isn't a sign of spiritual deficit, but rather an acknowledgment of the transcendent nature of God's love. It’s the natural response of a soul confronted with an immensity it cannot fully grasp, a love that is not earned but freely given, a love that ultimately redefines and restores. This adoration is a testament to the unfathomable depth of God's affection, a theme that resonates throughout scripture, reminding us of His steadfast commitment to humanity, even in our weakest moments.
