Knowing Christ
The greatest thing in this whole world
Is knowing Christ our Lord…
And feasting on the food prepared
In God’s own Holy Word.
It satisfies the hungry soul
As nothing else can do…
Filling the heart with victory
And strength to see us through.
If we know Him on the mountain,
We’ll know Him in the deep…
Through the wildest, roughest waters,
He is there for His sheep.
Know Him in the midst of the storm,
When troubles do not cease…
Praise Him for His sustaining grace,
He is our perfect peace.
Know Him in times of prosperity,
As well as poverty…
Know the loving hand that provides
And cares for you and me.
Whatsoever state we are in,
As Paul of long ago…
Let us learn to just be content
Our loving Lord to know.
A ransom for lost, sinful souls,
He gave His life for all…
Just to know Him is to love Him,
Oh, hear His tender call…
Surrender all to the Savior,
The precious, Living Word…
The greatest thing in this whole world
Is Knowing Christ our Lord.
“I
count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord”
(Ph.3:8)
