Scrolling through my highlight reel,

Chasing every snapshot of a dream,

Building castles made of likes and praise,

But it’s empty if You’re not in the frame.

I’ve been hiding in my comfort zone,

Guarding every piece of pride I own,

Trading truth for treasures made of sand,

Lord, I tremble at Your sovereign hand.

Oh, I thought I had it all figured out,

But my heart’s been lost in doubts,

Till Your whisper called me out—

Lose to live, surrender everything,

Lay it down, and hear Your freedom ring.

In the ashes of my broken plans,

I find the life that only You can give.

Lose to live, abandon every fear,

Hold Your cross so I can hold You near.

When I lose my life for love of You,

I taste the hope that makes all things new.

In the boardrooms and the midnight grind,

I’ve been counting worth in what I find,

But no promotion, no applause on earth

Can fulfill the worth You place on me.

When my courage fades in heated storms,

When faith feels small and fear transforms,

I will choose the path of sacrifice,

Knowing Your grace is my only prize.

All I built will slip away,

But Your mercy here will stay,

So I’ll bow before Your name—

Lose to live, surrender everything,

Lay it down, and hear Your freedom ring.

In the ashes of my broken plans,

I find the life that only You can give.

Lose to live, abandon every fear,

Hold Your cross so I can hold You near.

When I lose my life for love of You,

I taste the hope that makes all things new.

This world may call me selfish, say I’m blind,

But I know in losing I’m the wealthiest kind.

For every tear I drop at mercy’s tree,

You pour a river flowing wild and free.

Lose to live, surrender everything,

Lay it down, receive the songs You sing.

In the silence where my failures lie,

You breathe resurrection when I die.

Take my heart, take my all,

At Your feet I gladly fall.

For when I lose to live in You,

Eternal life begins anew.
