All The Glory

11/28/2001

“But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.” (Philippians 3:7-11)

All the glory and all the gain

All the righteousness I could feign

I have bidden farewell to them

So that I may be found in Him

To know You in my spirit

I must leave my old life dead upon the cross

And though victory comes through suffering

I will follow You no matter what the cost

I will follow You no matter what the cost

To know Your power, to taste Your pain

To share Your death and somehow attain

A walk of Faith and a Life that’s new

A Righteousness that is found in YOU!

Forgetting all that is behind me

And reaching out for what’s ahead

I’m pressing on toward the

Goal to which God’s called me:

A Life above in Jesus Christ my friend

A Life above in Jesus Christ my friend!
