         Am   F      C                   F     G  C

All I once held dear, built my life upon

             Am    F  C             Am      G

All this world reveres and wars to own

          F     G           C                F    G    C

All I once thought gain I have counted loss

                 Am   F     C            Am       G

Spent and worthless now compared to this

 

                 F      C      F               C

Knowing You, Jesus, knowing You

         Am    G/E       F

There is no greater thing

                  C                      F

You're my all, You're the best

                  C                          F

You're my joy, my righteousness

           C            F      C   G

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
