Music and words by Graham Kendrick
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 my 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 to live with You and never die.
