One Thing

This one thing I much desire And to this end to never part A devoted and simple life A focus of mind and heart On Jesus, on Jesus I want to know Jesus I must know Jesus My request is not naive Nor made without counting cost The whole of my life is Yours Everything else is lost You can take this world All its lust and lies For I've resolved to know Nothing but Christ and Him crucified I've resolved to know Jesus I want to know Jesus Oh, I want to know You, Jesus I want to know You, Jesus Yes, I want to know
