Sara received her Bachelor of Science degree in History and English in 1994 from Evangel University, a private Christian university in Springfield, Missouri. Sara spent four years teaching high school in Rosemount, Minnesota before recording her first album, Past the Wishing, in 1998. Since then, she has released five more albums and appeared on several others (see below). Sara has been nominated for 3 Dove Awards including "New Artist of the Year" in 2002 and "Special Event Album of the Year 2003" by the Gospel Music Association. She was named one of the best Christian music artists of 2005 and the album, Add to the Beauty, was named "Album of the Year" for 2005 by CCM Magazine. In 2009 Fireflies & Songs earned enough votes from a panel of ten music critics to be named Christianity Today's Album of the Year. The magazine explained their choice: "Already known for her transparent songwriting, Sara Groves gets even more piercingly honest on this, her ninth album. Whether her relationship with God, marital tension, or a private battle with anxiety, it's poetically spilled forth in Groves' call for the church to 'live confessionally.' And paired with less poppy, stripped-down arrangements, her achingly clear vocal remains front and center. This is vintage Groves—yet more herself than ever."
You Cannot Lose My Love
Sara Groves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At times, you'll lose your faith in me.
You will lose a lot of things,
But you cannot lose my love.
You may lose your appetite,
Your guiding sense of wrong and right.
You may lose your will to fight,
But you cannot lose my love.
In times of trial, your common sense.
You may lose your innocence,
But you cannot lose my love.
Many things can be misplaced;
Your very memories be erased.
No matter what the time or space,
You cannot lose my love.
You cannot lose,
You cannot lose,
You cannot lose my love.
The lyrics of the song You Cannot Lose My Love by Sara Groves convey a sense of security and reassurance to the listener. It talks about how humans can lose various things in life, but one thing they cannot lose is the love of someone who cares for them deeply.

The final verse of the song conveys how some things can be misplaced, and memories can be erased, but one thing that cannot be lost is love.

I've played this song for each of my kids for their first few years when I've carried them to bed every night or when putting them down for naps. It has become a lovely time of transition (and perhaps Pavlovian trigger) from being active to restful. And though they may not take in the words, let alone their significance, I do.
Thank you.
@ExaltHIMvdo
I am sure they will come to realise the meaning behind the words and treasure how much they were loved as children. Thank you for sharing your heart.
