All I Once Held Dear
Discovering True Worth: Oasis Worship's All I Once Held Dear
Lyrics
All I once held dear built my life upon
All that was once significant and foundational in my life
All this world reveres and wars to own
Everything highly esteemed and fought over in this world
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Everything I considered a gain, I now consider a loss
Spent and worthless now compared to this
Now depleted and valueless in comparison to a new realization
Knowing you Jesus
A focus on knowing Jesus
Knowing you there is no greater thing
Acknowledging that nothing is greater than knowing Jesus
You're my all you're the best
Jesus is everything, the ultimate
You're my joy my righteousness
Jesus is the source of joy and righteousness
And I love you Lord
Expressing love and devotion to the Lord
Now my heart's desire is to know you more
Expressing a deep desire to know Jesus more
To be found in you and known as yours
Desiring to be identified with and owned by Jesus
To possess by faith what I could not earn
Aspiring to possess through faith what couldn't be earned
All-surpassing gift of righteousness
Referring to the surpassing gift of righteousness in Jesus
Knowing you Jesus
Reiterating the significance of knowing Jesus
Knowing you there is no greater thing
Emphasizing the unparalleled importance of knowing Jesus
You're my all you're the best
Acknowledging Jesus as the all-encompassing and the best
You're my joy my righteousness
Recognizing Jesus as the source of joy and righteousness
And I love you Lord
Expressing love and devotion to the Lord
Oh to know the power of your risen life
Desiring to understand the power of Jesus' resurrection
And to know You in Your sufferings
Desiring to share in Jesus' sufferings
To become like you in your death my Lord
Aspiring to become like Jesus in death
So with you to live and never die
Expressing a desire to live with Jesus and never experience spiritual death
Knowing you Jesus
Reiterating the significance of knowing Jesus
Knowing you there is no greater thing
Emphasizing the unparalleled importance of knowing Jesus
You're my all you're the best
Acknowledging Jesus as the all-encompassing and the best
You're my joy my righteousness
Recognizing Jesus as the source of joy and righteousness
And I love you Lord
Expressing love and devotion to the Lord
Knowing you Jesus
Reiterating the significance of knowing Jesus
Knowing you there is no greater thing
Emphasizing the unparalleled importance of knowing Jesus
You're my all you're the best
Acknowledging Jesus as the all-encompassing and the best
You're my joy my righteousness
Recognizing Jesus as the source of joy and righteousness
And I love you Lord
Expressing love and devotion to the Lord
And I love you Lord
Repeating the expression of love and devotion to the Lord
How I love you Lord
Reiterating intense love for the Lord
How I love you Lord
Continuation of expressing profound love for the Lord
