So Far Gone-Thousand Foot Krutch

I've always wondered what it meant to lose yourself in another person. For some reason, I'm good on my own. I don't need people in the sense of I'm not complete without them. I've known people who lose their identities to other people-usually a boyfriend/girlfriend. They change everything about themselves to fit what they consider to be the "perfect" whatever. I just never got it.

That was until I heard So Far Gone by TFK (Thousand Foot Krutch). TFK writes:

I want to be so far gone in you,
So far nothing else will ever do,
I want to be so far gone in you/
I want to be so far gone in you,
So far nothing else will ever do,
I want to be so far gone in you,
In you/

TFK talks about losing yourself in Christ. To be so hidden in Christ that you lose your selfish desires and pride. You begin to realize that only by dying and assimilating yourself to His life, you find who you were truly meant to be.

For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3 NASB)

As Christ followers, we should be so far gone in Christ that people don't see us but Christ in us and through us.
