Knowing You

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 pow'r of Your risen life,
And to know You in Your suffering,
To become like You in Your death, My Lord,
So with You to live and never die

Philippians 3:7-11
