Lyrics

Take all of the good and all of the bad
'Cause all of it's on me
Take all of my ways, the things that I chase
The things that control me


And all that I hide, could you bring me to life?
Could you open my eyes and show me?
Take all that was me and shape it to be
Reflecting you soully


I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you


I don't care how it sounds
Burn it up to the ground
Your kingdom, my desire
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find
To find you
(I need to find you/I need to find you)


As all of the fates, I'll be on my way
The wreckage behind me
My feet on the ground, Two hands reaching out
The future is blinding


So what is stirring in you? May you stir up in me
All the dreams that you placed inside me
Take all that you see and shape it to be
The story you're writing


I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you


I don't care how it sounds
Burn it all to the ground
Consume me with your fire
I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find
To find you


I need to find you...
I need to find you...
I need to find you...


I need to find you...
I need to find you...
I need to find you...


So do not hide your face from me
Do not hide your face
Do not hide your face from me
Please don't hide


I'm gonna lose myself, lose myself to find
To find you
I need to find you...
I need to find you...
I need to find you...
I need to find you...


So do not hide your face from me
Do not hide
So do not hide your face from me
Do not hide


I need to find you..


So do not hide your face from me
Do not hide
So do not hide your face from me
Do not hide


So do not hide your face from me
Please don't hide your face

Meaning & Inspiration

“Lose Myself” presents surrender as the relinquishing of habits, ambitions, and hidden parts of the self so that a life can reflect God more clearly. Its central refrain, “lose myself to find you,” treats spiritual discovery as a willingness to let old controls fall away. Images of fire, reshaping, and reaching hands give that surrender urgency, while the repeated plea for God not to hide His face adds vulnerability to the declaration.

The lyric also recognizes that transformation involves both loss and renewal. Wreckage remains behind, yet the future opens as something bright enough to be blinding. The desire for God to stir up implanted dreams suggests that surrender does not erase identity; rather, it places identity and purpose under divine direction. The language may recall Jesus teaching about losing life in order to save it, while the appeal to seek God’s face aligns closely with the prayerful language of the Psalms.
