Lost in the Shadow Songtext
von Steven Curtis Chapman

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"

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

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


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 of the cross

The voices grow silent now
As my little ones lay sleeping
But here in the shadow, there′s one whisper I still hear

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


Lost in the shadow, the shadow of the cross
Oh, whatever it costs, I want to get lost
Lost in the shadow, the shadow of the cross
Jesus is calling you and me
Lost in the shadow, the shadow of the cross
Saying, "Take up your cross, come and get lost"
Lost in the shadow, the shadow of the cross
Lost in the shadow
