Only This I Want
Eternal Pursuit: Embracing the Cross for a Heavenly Crown
Lyrics
Only this I want
Desire for one specific thing
But to know the Lord
To have a deep understanding of the Lord
And to bear His cross
To carry the burdens and challenges akin to those of Jesus
So to wear the crown He wore
To experience the same honor and responsibility as Jesus did
All but this is loss
Everything else apart from the above desire is considered as of no value
Worthless refuse to me
Things considered worthless or meaningless in comparison to the desired goal
For to gain the Lord
Because gaining knowledge of the Lord encompasses all necessary things
Is to gain all I need
To attain the Lord is to achieve everything essential
Only this I want
Reiteration of the primary desire
But to know the Lord
To have a deep understanding of the Lord
And to bear His cross
To endure challenges similar to Jesus's hardships
So to wear the crown He wore
To experience the same honor and responsibility as Jesus did
I will run the race
Commitment to persevere in the journey of faith
I will fight the good fight
Commitment to engage in righteous battles and struggles
So to win the prize
To achieve the ultimate reward
Of the kingdom of my Lord
To inherit the domain ruled by the Lord
Only this I want
Reiteration of the primary desire
But to know the Lord
To have a deep understanding of the Lord
And to bear His cross
To endure challenges similar to Jesus's hardships
So to wear the crown He wore
To experience the same honor and responsibility as Jesus did
Let your heart be glad
Encouragement to maintain joyfulness rooted in the Lord
Always glad in the Lord
Perpetual happiness found in the Lord
So to shine like stars
To radiate brightly with virtue in times of difficulty
In the darkness of the night
To stand out as a symbol of hope amidst adversity
Only this I want
Reiteration of the primary desire
But to know the Lord
To have a deep understanding of the Lord
And to bear His cross
To endure challenges similar to Jesus's hardships
So to wear the crown He wore
To experience the same honor and responsibility as Jesus did
And to bear His cross
Reaffirmation of willingness to endure challenges akin to Jesus
So to wear the crown He wore
To ultimately attain the honor and responsibility akin to Jesus
