For the Joy of Knowing You

Verse 1

What the world holds dear, what it treasures most, what is soon to pass away
What we saw as gain, now we see as loss, for the joy of knowing You
What the world esteems, what it counts as wealth, what is destined to decay
What we saw as rich, now we see as poor, for the joy of knowing You

Chorus

Knowing You, knowing You, knowing You, knowing You

Verse 2

What the world exalts, what it thinks it knows, what will perish in that Day
What we saw as high, now we see as low, for the joy of knowing You
What the world loves, what it counts as strong, what is soon to fade away
What was once our crown, now we cast it down, for the joy of knowing You

Bridge

We wanna’ know, the risen Christ, and the power of Your resurrection life
We leave it all for the joy of knowing You
We forget what’s behind in the hope of everlasting
We leave it all for the joy of knowing You
