Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'm torn again between my pride, my old friend

And who you've called me to be

I've sworn again to lay it down, to bring an end

To this life lived for me


For I've one life to lose, one chance to find

A newer, better me, the old one left behind

For there's one Lord who leads though steep the cost

I have learned when I am lost, it's there that I am found


I am found as your daughter, as your child

As one purchased by Your blood

And though there's nothing I can add to such a perfect sacrifice

How can I offer you less than all my life?


For I've one life to lose, one chance to find

A newer, better me, the old one left behind

For there's one Lord who leads how steep the cost

I have learned when I am lost, it's there that I am found

It's there that I am found


For I've one life to lose, one chance to find

A newer, better me, the old one left behind

For there's one Lord who leads how steep the cost

I have learned when I am lost

I have learned when I am lost, it's there that I am found

It's there that I am found
