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 sufferings

To become like You in Your death, my Lord

So with You to live and never die
