All I Once Held Dear (Knowing You)

All I once held dear built my life upon
All this world reveres and wants to own
All I once sought 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
O to know the power 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
(Graham Kendrick 1994 "Make Way Music")
I LOVE this song as it sings out my heart's desire. I also love that it's from the powerful verses from Philippians 3:10-11: "I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead."
