Knowing Christ My Lord Lyrics

There is no one more exalted

No greater power could be

And yet a God pure and faultless

You loved a sinner like me

O how unending Your mercy

And overwhelming Your grace

For death my soul was deserving

But now I have life in its place

Though moth and rust

Will take away

The treasures of this world

I have to hold

No higher gain

Than knowing Christ my Lord

O what a beautiful Savior

More true than dearest of friend

That I am blessed with Your favor

My soul cannot comprehend

You are the God of all comfort

As You weep here by my side

With joy and peace I am covered

In you I find my delight

Though moth and rust

Will take away

The treasures of this world

I have to hold

No higher gain

Than knowing Christ my Lord

All that I once thought worth owning

I count it all as loss

And all my searching and roaming

Ends here beneath the cross

O God of infinite measure

You know and love me by name

In You I have every treasure

Your praise I'll live to proclaim

Though moth and rust

Will take away

The treasures of this world

I have to hold

No higher gain

Than knowing Christ my Lord

Though moth and rust

Will take away

The treasures of this world

I have to hold

No higher gain

Than knowing Christ my Lord

Than knowing Christ my Lord
