Let Me Lose Myself
Bridget Blucher Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Many years I searched for rest
Perfect peace within my breast,
And I often sought the Lord alone in tears.
But I could not pay the price,
Would not make the sacrifice;
So I wandered on and on for many years.

Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee.

May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.

Then one day while knelt in prayer,
Jesus whispered to me there,
"Take your Cross and follow Me to Calvary."
Oh, how sad it was to die, and all self to crucify,
Just to lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee.

Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee.
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.

Lord I could not stand alone,
when I bow before thy throne
Let me bring, dear lord, at least one soul to thee
Here, I give myself away,
take me, use me, lord I pray
Lest I lose myself and find it lord in thee.

Let me lose myself and find it, Lord, in Thee.
May all self be slain, my friend, see only Thee.
Though it costs me grief and pain,
I will find my life again.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.

If I lose myself I'll find it, Lord, in Thee.
Let me lose myself And find it, Lord, in Thee.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bridget Blucher's song Let Me Lose Myself are about one's spiritual journey towards finding inner peace and the struggle to eliminate the ego, to be completely selfless, and find oneself within a higher power. The singer talks about her search for rest and perfect peace within herself but failing to attain it despite seeking the Lord alone in tears. She expresses the need to completely lose oneself and find solace in the higher power, even if it costs grief and pain. The singer alludes to the fact that it is not an easy path to take but a necessary one.

The shift in the song happens when Jesus whispers to the singer during her prayer, asking her to take up her Cross and follow Him to Calvary. She acknowledges the pain of dying and crucifying all of herself, but in doing so, it allows her to lose herself finally and find it in the Lord. She prays to God not to let her bring shame upon herself and instead, let her bring at least one soul closer to God. The song's message is profoundly spiritual, urging the listener to lose oneself truly in a higher power to find oneself.
