Verse 1
I wake to the sound of different voices
Calling my name
Two little ones who want
To start another day
And one voice that’s calling
“Take up your cross and come follow Me.”
Chorus
I want to get lost
In the shadow of the cross
To answer the call, surrender it all
In the shadow
I want to live this day
With a humble heart
That’s ready to pay
Whatever it costs, to find myself lost
In the shadow of the cross
Verse 2
Living beneath the burden
Of this cross I carry
Oh, I’m finding more of Christ
And losing more of me
So, I’ll hide in His shadow
Until I am nothing and He is everything
Chorus
I want to get lost
In the shadow of the cross
To answer the call, surrender it all
In the shadow
I want to live this day
With a humble heart
That’s ready to pay
Whatever it costs, to find myself lost
In the shadow of the cross
(Lost in the shadow)
(The shadow of the cross)
(Whatever it costs, I want to get lost)
(Lost in the shadow)
(The shadow)
Bridge
The voices grow silent now
As my little ones lay sleeping
But here in the shadow
There’s one whisper I still hear…
Chorus
I want to get lost
In the shadow of the cross
To answer the call, surrender it all
In the shadow
I want to live each day
With a humble heart
That’s ready to pay
Whatever it costs, to find myself lost
In the shadow
The shadow of the cross
Outro
(Lost in the shadow)
(In the shadow of the cross)
Oh, whatever it costs, I want to get lost
(Lost in the shadow)
(In the shadow of the cross)
Jesus is calling you and me
(Lost in the shadow)
(In the shadow of the cross)
Saying, “Take up your cross
Come and get lost”
(Lost in the shadow)
(In the shadow of the cross)
Lost in the shadow…
