Gaining Jesus, Losing the World
1 min read
From the archive. I write now at Ready by Dawn on Substack.
Courtesy of the worship team at CCUC, they allowed this recording of one of my favorite songs (I didn’t write it).
Enjoy!
Audio from the original post is no longer available.
I was in search for treasure
searching in fields of pleasure
sifting through gold and silver
Oh what I found is better..
I was in search for fine pearls
I was in search for gaining the world
drinking from cisterns broken
I saw you and I sold it all…
I could gain the world
and lose my soul
I could gain the whole wide world
But what would it matter?
I’d give the world to be with You (Won’t you tell me…)
Why would I hold on to anything but only You?
Oh why would I hold on (no reason)
Why would I hold on (no reason)
Why would I hold on (no reason)
Why would I hold on (no reason)
Why would I hold on?
