Lost
We recorded "Lost" in the fall of 2009 after contacting a local friend and songwriter, Gary Nichols. He sent us this song, and we immediately fell in love with its powerful lyrics! It goes back to the ugly truth that we ALL are hopelessly lost without the saving grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. It's so easy to get wrapped up in things that are not God's best for our lives, and before you know it, you wake up and realize that you're far away from the Lord. Or as the song puts it you're "tangled in a web of habits (you) can't break."
And that is exactly why we need salvation... because no matter how hard we try to clean ourselves up to present to the Lord, we never can. It is only by the blood of Jesus covering our lives that we can have that salvation and live a life that is full of joy and peace that only He can supply.
Growing up in church, we have been accustomed to referring to someone who doesn't know the Lord as being "lost." We never really stopped to think about why we use that term until we recorded this song, but it's really simple... when you don't know the way, you're lost. In John 14:6, Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life." You don't have to wander aimlessly through life feeling like you have no purpose or direction. You can know The Way. Romans 10:13 tells us that "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL BE saved."
Everyone tries to call
Ringing the phone off the wall
No one answers, there's no tellin' where he's run off to
He could be all alone
Not even know he's gone
Chasing voices that tell him everything except the truth
He can't resist, but no matter where he thinks he is...
He's lost
Somewhere inside himself
Tangled in a web of habits he can't break
Lost,
He might see the Light
If he'd open up his eyes to his mistakes
Somewhere between the devil and the cross
He's lost
When will he hit the wall
How far will he have to fall
Will he wake up from this dream while he still has a prayer
His momma talks to God
Begs Him to help him stop
Cause he's not listening to anything we say to him down here
Lord, help him please
I'd hate to think he's out of reach
He's lost
Somewhere inside himself
Tangled in a web of habits he can't break
Lost,
He might see the Light
If he'd open up his eyes to his mistakes
Somewhere between the devil and the cross
He's lost
