Knowing You (All I Once Held Dear)

One of my favorite songs. This songs comes from Paul's words in Philippians that says I count all things rubbish compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord. This song expresses gratitude of a life of knowing and being known by Christ.



Knowing You Jesus
by 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
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 know as Yours,
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness

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.
