Knowing You Jesus
By Administrator | February 11, 2007
Several years ago a visiting minister taught me a simple, penetrating song called Knowing You. This past Friday DCCS third grade through fifth grade chapel sang the song. I found myself praying that our children would learn to understand these words.
Words and Music by Graham Kendrick
Knowing You (All I Once Held Dear)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 righteousnessKnowing 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.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.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.
May your family life reflect the truth of this simple song.
May God’s grace and peace be with you,
Mark Strohm
