ALL I ONCE HELD DEAR (KNOWING YOU)

Graham Kendrick

 

VERSE 1:
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

 

CHORUS 1:
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

 

VERSE 2:
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

 

CHORUS 2:
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

 

VERSE 3:
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

 

CHORUS 3:
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

 

CHORUS 4:
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

 

CODA:
And I love You, Lord
And I love You, Lord
