The Lost Get Found

This is the first single and title track from Christian pop rock artist Britt Nicole's sophomore album.

Nicole told New Release Tuesday the story behind the song: "I have been a youth leader for about four years at a church in Franklin, Tennessee. I love it. It's a big part of my life and my heart. The kids have blessed me and ministered to me more than I've ministered to them. We were attending a conference at a place called The Ramp in Alabama. There were about 2,000 kids in attendance and my brother is actually the worship leader. We go there often as a youth group and worship God together, see dramas and listen to preachers. At the end of the weekend, I was worn out and ready for God to pour something into me. I don't remember having a specific encounter during the conference where God came and said something to me, but during the 3-hour drive back to Tennessee, God was challenging me to reach out and talk to people and tell them that God loves them. There were moments when I did and moments when I didn't." Nicole added: "The song is really based on an event that came a week later after that conference. I was at the mall and there was a lady at the register that God was challenging me to talk to. I kind of stood there and thought too much. When the Holy Spirit tells you to move, you need to act and not delay. The lady walked away and I was mad at myself for not acting on God's urge to talk to that lady. I wondered what was it that God wanted me to tell that lady? I was selfish and was thinking of myself and I was disappointed in myself. A couple of days later, I was writing songs with Ben Glover and I told his wife about that situation in the mall. She told me that God was working on her in the same way and she is trying to be a light to others that she knows. While writing the song, Ben and I had trouble coming up with anything for at least an hour, so we prayed together and Ben looked up and said "the lost get found." I know that was it. Jesus tells us that he'll leave the 99 righteous to find that 1 lost person. "The Lost Get Found" is about our need to be bold and listen to the Holy Spirit."
