The Lost Get Found

Each year God lays a different purpose for the school year on my heart. At the beginning of this school year I heard, "The Lost Get Found" by Britt Nicole and knew it was my "school song." Here the the lyrics:

The Lost Get Found
By Britt Nicole

Hello my friend, I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes
Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen
Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin',
I'm talkin' to me

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out'
Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance, are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin', love is callin' you

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out'
Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out'
Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe(Stand out)
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out(Stand out)
'Cause somewhere
Somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it


I tried to find it on for my playlist of songs that play on the blog, but I couldn't. It's new-ish, so maybe it will be on there soon. I did find other Britt Nicole songs to put on my playlist, so you could hear this amazing artist!

This year I have been co-sponsoring the school's Christian organization called CIA (Christian's in Action.) These kids have amazing hearts for the Lord and are truly seeking Him with their lives! They lead each other in song, worship, praise, and Bible study lessons every Friday morning. I am so blessed by these kids and hope to be an encouragement to them as well!

What an awesome place God has put you into this year!! Serving Him and teaching, too... does it get any better?? You will be used in ways you haven't even thought of this year as you make yourself sensitive to the Spirit's voice. I will pray that He gives you wisdom and words as you work with these kids. Love you, Bug! MoM
