I’ve heard this song several times on the radio and recently heard an interview with Britt Nicole discussing this song she wrote, “The Lost Get Found.” Her story that triggered her to write this song was very similar to mine and I’m sure many of yours.  Do you ever get that feeling (as if God is trying to signal to you) that you should go talk to a particular person/stranger in public?  I get that a lot and I pass it up because I let “fear of man” invade my thinking and before you know it, my opportunity to make conversation or help out a stranger has passed.  This song describes why we shouldn’t let those situations pass, but that we should do everything that we can to let our light shine, and possibly make what seems to us like a tiny difference to what may seem as a huge difference in someone else’s day.   I like how Britt’s lyrics mention: ” 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”

This is SO true. It’s becoming more and more rare that people LOVE at all times these days. Of course your close friends may display love to you, but how often does a complete stranger help you out or show love to you?  This is just one of many reasons Christianity gets a bad rep. We compartmentalize our LOVE for others/the world when it’s convenient to us. We shouldn’t bottle this up, we shouldn’t be afraid to share it with others.

Here are the lyrics to the entire song “The Lost Get Found”  -Enjoy.

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 calling 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
