What I Can’t Lose
Matthew 16:24-26
This old life of chasing things is gone for me.
I'm sick and tired of all the acquiring temporary.
I was born for more, by the Creator, and the Redeemer of my soul.
He says, come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
My God I want to be a fool for You,
living everyday to the will of Yours.
My Lord, seeking You always,
and I'll give what I can't keep to gain what I can't lose.
This world and its desires fade away,
they fade away like the flowers.
If I believe in you my God, I will take up my cross.
If I give myself away, and lose it all,
I know the One who holds my soul.
I'll give what I can't keep to gain what I can't lose.
You're my hope and I know You will be with me, til the end,
what's it worth to You?
What's it worth to me?
What would I give to have hearts set free?
So I live now and forevermore,
with my treasure hid above.
Any other way seems to be insane.
I won't live in vain,
I'm Yours, Jesus. I surrender to You.
