All i once held dear, built my life upon All this world reveres, and wars to own All i once thought gain i have counted loss Spent and worthless now, compared to this
Knowing you, jesus Knowing you, there is no greater thing You're my all, you're the best You're my joy, my righteousness And i love you, lord
Now my heart's desire is to know you more To be found in you and known as yours To possess by faith what i could not earn All-surpassing gift of righteousness
Oh, to know the power of your risen life And to know you in your sufferings To become like you in your death, my lord So with you to live and never die
