I Want to Know Christ by Larnelle Lyrics

I know that I know that my life is redeemed
I know I have found what some only have dreamed
I hold in my heart the pearl of great price
Dear God, hear my cry, I want to know Christ

I want to know Christ
I keep Him before me
I lift up my eyes
I drink in His glory
I press toward the goal
His goodness unfolds
March on, oh, my soul
I want to know
I want to know Christ

I know that my path is the way of the cross
So I count what I gain and forget what I've lost
In pain there is joy, in death there is life
Dear God, hear my cry, I want to know Christ

I want to know Christ
I keep Him before me
I lift up my eyes
I drink in His glory
I press toward the goal
His goodness unfolds
March on, oh, my soul
I want to know
Yes, I want to know Christ
And the things that entangle me
I lay them down
All the treasures and trophies of life
Let them be lost
Only let me be found in Christ
For I want to know
Yes, I want to know

I want to know Christ
I keep Him before me
I lift up my eyes
I drink in His glory
I press toward the goal
His goodness unfolds
March on, oh, my soul
I want to know
Yes, I want to know
Oh, I want to know Christ!
