I Lost It All to Find Everything

I had won all I could win
There was no place I hadn't been
But my heart was just so needy and so poor
Then I heard Him gently say
"Lose it all and find my way"
So I gave it up and found it all and more

I lost it all to find everything
I died a pauper to be born a king
When I learned how to lose
I found out how to win
Oh, I lost it all to find everything

I was frantic to survive
I was racing to arrive
And I walked on anyone
Standing in my way
Then I watched my schemes all die
I realized that I, I could find new life
Because the old had died that day

I lost it all to find everything
I died a pauper to be born a king
When I learned how to lose
I found out how to win
Oh, I lost it all to find everything
Oh, I lost it all to find everything
I found everything
