Story behind the song
Our pastor once told me he wanted to hear a song that dealt with the idea of "dying to self". The thought generated the beginnings of a song.
Lyrics
(chorus)
I find peace, I find joy, I find hope in You
I find the answers for what I’m going through
I find the strength to hold on
I find the right in the face of wrong
And the self I thought I’d lost
I find in You
Letting go of the need to have my own way
Flies in the face of all that I feel
Dying to self means finding true life
Means moving from fantasy
to something that’s real
(chorus)
Shadows come and shadows go
But the light of your love never fails
And walking down this path I know I’m not alone
And compared to your blessings
my best effort pales
(chorus X 2)
