All I want is to know and love my Lord,

Chorus:
All I want is to know and love my Lord,
and to feel in my heart the power of Jesus' love.

1 To share in his suffering, like him in his death,
to live deep within the hope we rise with him.

2 To do this I throw away everything I possess,
all treasure is worth the price of loving him.
