[Verse 1]  
      C    D    G               C   D G
All I once held dear, built my life upon,
         C       G         Em      D
All this world reveres and wars to own;
      C    D       G           C   D   G
All I once thought gain I have counted loss,
          C         G      Em       D     
Spent and worthless now compared to this.

[Chorus]
        C      G       C         G
Knowing You,   Jesus,    knowing You
      Em    Bm      C
There is no greater thing.
          G               C  
You're my all, You're the best,
          G                C
You're my joy, my righteousness,
      G        C       G      D
And I love You Lord.

[Verse 2]
       C        D G          C    D   G
Now my heart's desire is to know You more,
      C        G       Em       D
To be found in You and known as Yours,
     C     D   G           C     D   G
To possess by faith what I could not earn
       C       G       Em       D     
All surpassing gift of righteousness

[Chorus]
        C      G       C         G
Knowing You,   Jesus,    knowing You
      Em    Bm      C
There is no greater thing.
          G               C  
You're my all, You're the best,
          G                C
You're my joy, my righteousness,
      G        C       G      D
And I love You Lord.

[Verse 3]
      C    D   G             C  D  G
Oh to know the power of Your risen life,
       C        G       Em   D
And to know You in Your sufferings;
     C    D    G           C      D  G
To become like You in Your death, my Lord,
        C      G        Em    D     
So with You to live and never die.

[Chorus]
        C      G       C         G
Knowing You,   Jesus,    knowing You
      Em    Bm      C
There is no greater thing.
          G               C  
You're my all, You're the best,
          G                C
You're my joy, my righteousness,
      G        C       G      D
And I love You Lord.
