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

On jesus on jesus

I want to know jesus I want to know you jesus yeah

And 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
