If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Were my life worth living for a day?
Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort
In the things that soon must pass away?
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife?
Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing
For a moment with a Christ-filled life?

Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
And a name revered both far and near,
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer;
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
Who endured the cross and died for me,
Could then all the world afford a refuge,
Whither, in my anguish, I might flee?

O what emptiness!—without the Savior
’Mid the sins and sorrows here below!
And eternity, how dark without Him!
Only night and tears and endless woe!
What, though I might live without the Savior,
When I come to die, how would it be?
O to face the valley’s gloom without Him!
And without Him all eternity!

O the joy of having all in Jesus!
What a balm the broken heart to heal!
Ne’er a sin so great, but He’ll forgive it,
Nor a sorrow that He does not feel!
If I have but Jesus, only Jesus,
Nothing else in all the world beside—
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
For my needs and more He will provide.

If I Gained the World (hymn #1079)

1
There is always something over, When we taste our gracious Lord;
Every cup He fills o'erfloweth,
Rich supply He doth afford.
Nothing narrow, nothing stinted,
Ever issued from His store;
To His own He gives full measure, Running over, evermore,
To His own He gives full measure, Running over, evermore.

2
There is always something over, When we, from the Father's hand, Take our portion with thanksgiving, Praising for the things He planned.
Satisfaction, full and deepening,
All our need He doth supply,
When the heart has tasted Jesus
Its desires to satisfy,
When the heart has tasted Jesus
Its desires to satisfy.

3
There is always something over, When we share in all His love;
Unplumbed depths still lie beneath us,
Unscaled heights rise far above.
Human lips can never utter
All His wondrous tenderness.
We can only praise and wonder And His Name forever bless,
We can only praise and wonder And His Name forever bless.

There is Always Something Over (hymn #595)

The goal of the gospel is that,
Loving the Lord Jesus
With the first love,
We would pour out upon Him,
Pour out upon Him
What is most precious to us,
Even our most costly and valuable
Spiritual treasure,
“Wasting” ourselves upon Him
Even our most costly and valuable
Spiritual treasure,
“Wasting” ourselves upon Him

The Goal of the Gospel

Verse 1:
Above the waste and emptiness
Broods the Spirit of God,
Bringing forth God’s speaking in us.
Hey! Let there be light!

Chorus:
And the light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness did not overcome.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Verse 2:
Nights decreasing, day increasing,
Every day His Word we’re seeking;
Don’t be discouraged, spirit releasing!
We are the children of God.

Above the Waste and Emptiness

Verse 1:
You shall love the Lord with all your heart
You shall love the Lord with all your soul,
You shall love the Lord with all your mind,
With all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.

Verse 2:
Oh, Lord I love You for all the things You are!
Oh, Lord I love You for all the things You do!
Oh, Lord I love You. Help me love You more,
With all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind.

"Jesus answered, The first is: “Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord; And you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength.”" (Mark 12:29-30)

You Shall Love the Lord with All Your Heart (MST College Conference)

Verse 1:
God’s only goal in time,
Dispensing life to us,
Is what this heart of mine
Can absolutely trust;
For God Himself in Christ
The flesh in time became,
Now God can be my life
Each time I call His name.

Verse 2:
God’s purpose and His plan
Is more of Christ dispensed;
My spirit is the key,
Where life and peace are sensed;
So I will exercise
My spirit every day,
And overcome the world;
Be saved from Satan’s sway.
 
Chorus:
Jesus! Call His name today!
Jesus! Call Him day by day!
Jesus! In His name we pray!
God’s life dispensed,
Now I’m convinced,
Lord, You’re God’s goal and way!

Verse 3:
God’s only goal in time
Is to pour out His Son,
His Spirit joined to mine,
Intrinsic’lly made one;
And fanned into a flame,
Would spread His fire, divine
Into my inward parts,
This four-part heart of mine.

Verse 4:
Oh, let God’s goal be mine,
To gain Christ while I live,
Consumed by holy fire,
My every moment give;
And now I am assured
The One to whom I pray
Patrols and guards my heart
Unto that coming day.
 
Chorus:
Jesus! Call His name today!
Jesus! Call Him day by day!
Jesus! In His name we pray!
God’s life dispensed,
Now I’m convinced,
Lord, You’re God’s goal and way!

God’s Only Goal in Time

Verse 1:
Lord, You are the living spring,
The river of water of life;
Only You can quench my thirst;
Only You satisfy.
Lord, You are the living tree,
You are the Tree of Life;
Only You can fill my hunger;
Only You satisfy.
 
Chorus:
Every moment in so many ways
He is the sure supply;
Now and forever and always,
Only You satisfy.

Verse 2:
Lord, You are the living vine,
In You we would abide;
Only You give life divine;
Only You satisfy.
So we must praise
And we must sing,
And we must testify;
Lord, You are the only One;
Only You satisfy.

Only You Satisfy

Verse 1
I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love, And thus He bound me to Him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever.

Verse 2
I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
He bled, He died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all, Are His, and His forever.

Verse 3
I've found a Friend, oh, such a Friend!
So kind, and true, and tender, So wise a Counsellor and Guide, So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No, I am His forever.

I’ve Found a Friend, oh, Such a Friend!

Verse 1
Jesus Christ is the rock smitten,
Who was struck to save me from sin.
Living water did from Him burst,
And streamed forth to allay my thirst.

	He's the rock who's following me!
	He just wants me to take a drink.
	And now I am never alone!
	I'm followed by this living stone.

Verse 2
When I'm thirsty to Him I speak,
Then He gives me abundant drink.
As the rock He is standing by,
To flow out to me His supply.

	So I know wherever I go, 
	I can drink His life-giving flow.
	He's the rock who's following me, 
	Giving His life abundantly. 

Verse 3
If deep down you are feeling dry,
There's a way to have His supply—
God wants you to speak to the rock,
All the time in your daily walk.

	Open your mouth—speak to the Lord!
	Then the water will be outpoured.
	He's the rock who's following you,
	Waiting to give you a drink true.

	And we know wherever we go,
	We can drink His life-giving flow.
	He's the rock who's following us, 
	Flowing out His life bounteous.

Jesus Christ is the Rock Smitten

Verse 1
Christ has come to be life,
The processed divine Trinity.
God the Father’s the source,
A fountain emerging to be
God the Son as a gushing-up spring.
And the Spirit’s a river for life imparting
Oh, how can this miracle be?
The Triune God flowing in me!
Oh, I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!
I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!

	As this life flows through me,
	I’m supplied abundantly!
	His life nullifies sin;
	Pow'r springs now from within!
	To be free, overcoming spontaneously!

Verse 2
Yet this life though it frees,
Is not meant for mere victory.
God is full of intent
And never could flow aimlessly.
So this life has a totality,
A consummate issue encompassing me.
Life moves and life grows,
Life shapes as it flows,
Now I share in this life’s destiny.
Oh, I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!
I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!

	We’ll abide mutually,
	God and man revealed to be
	Lamb, Wife, Spirit, and Bride.
	Come! Drink! And riverside,
	Grows the tree,
	Our enjoyment for eternity!

Verse 3
So I’ve no cause to frown
As one who’s received this zoe.
I know life runs its course,
And triumphs inevitably.
I’m required just to stay in the flow.
If I do the drinking
Then God gives the growth.
So there’s joy in my heart,
And a spring in my step,
And a smile on my face as I sing,
Oh, I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!
I’ve got rivers of life,
Flowing out of my innermost being!

Christ Has Come to Be Life

I'm gonna praise God unceasingly
Because He lives in me.
He's everything to me,
Gives life continually.
I'm gonna praise God unceasingly
Because He lives in me, and He
will never leave.

	Now in our spirit we can feed,
	Jesus Christ is all we need.
	Call His name and He becomes reality. 
	Open up your mouth and you will see,
	Just how rich our Lord can be.
	He's the very life supply, complete is He.

Now I live by the tree of life,
His fruit does nourish me,
O how it strengthens me,
I'll live eternally.
Now I live by the tree of life.
Him daily I apply.
He is my food supply.

There's a river of life in me,
Flowing so livingly,
Moving continually.
He just keeps flooding me,
There's a river of life in me,
He’s always filling me,
His name is Jesus Christ!

I’m Gonna Praise God Unceasingly

"And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23) 

Chorus
God is spreading in my being!
	As the Spirit filling me!
	From my spirit to my soul
	To my body, I am wholly sanctified in Christ, preserved complete!

Verse 1
And the God of peace Himself
Sanctify you wholly,
And the God of peace Himself
Sanctify you wholly.

Verse 2
May your spirit and your soul and body
Be preserved complete, without blame,
Be preserved complete and without blame

God is Spreading in My Being

Fill my spirit up, (Fill it up!)
Fill my spirit up,
Till it overflows
Right out of my innermost being!
(repeat)

	Fill me today,
	Fill me, I pray!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, flow as the living water!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring!
	Right out of my innermost being.

Break through every part (Break through!)
Break through every part
Of my mind, emotion,
 will, and heart!
(repeat)

	Break through today,
	Break through, I pray!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, flow as the living water!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring!
	Right out of my innermost being.

Flow that river out (Flow it out!)
Flow that river out
Whether I might call, (Lord Jesus!)
 pray, sing, or shout! (Hallelujah!)
(repeat)

	Flow out today,
	Flow out, I pray!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, flow as the living water!
	Oh, Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring!
	Right out of my innermost being.

Fill My Spirit Up!

"For which cause I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (2 Timothy 1:6)

This age of lawlessness
Cools down our love for Christ,
Treads down our heart of love
For other things.
But our spirit is aflame.
So truthfully proclaim:
“I love You, Jesus Lord!”
And burn again.
	 (So let's all…)

	Rekindle, yes fan into flame,  
	The gift of God, which is in you.
	My spirit, as I call on His name,
	Will burn today. 
	   Lord Jesus!

Just like to Ephesus,
One thing outweighs the rest.
God wants our love for Him
The first and best.
Our spirit is equipped,
Strength, love, and soberness.
Let's choose to love Him with
Our entire being.
	 (We choose to…)

Oh Timothy,
Commit the Lord to keep
The healthy word complete,
And run the race.
God's Spirit like a flood,
O'rflows our hearts with love.
We'll burn for Him alone,
Until He comes.
	 (And we will…)

Rekindle (This Age of Lawlessness)

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

	This is my story, this is my song,
	Praising my Savior all the day long.
	This is my story, this is my song,
	Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine (This is My Story)

Recall how David swore,
"I'll not come into my house,
Nor go up to my bed,
Give slumber to mine eyelids,
Until I find a place for Thee,
A place, O Lord, for Thee."
Our mighty God desires a home
Where all His own may come.

How blinded we have been,
Shut in with what concerns us;
While God's house lieth waste—
Lord, break through, overturn us;
We'll go up to the mountain,
Bring wood and build the house;
We'll never say, "Another day!"
It's time! We'll come and build!

O Lord, against these days,
Inspire some for Your building,
Just as in David's day—
A remnant who are willing
To come and work in Your house,
Oh, what a blessed charge!
Your heart's desire, is our desire—
We come, O Lord, to build.

Within those whom You'd call
Put such a restless caring
For building to give all—
These times are for preparing;
The gates of hell cannot prevail
Against the builded Church!
The hours are few, the builders too—
Lord, build, O build in us!

Recall How David Swore

Verse 3
Oh, what joy it is to see Thee,
In these chosen emblems here;
In the bread and wine of blessing—
Bread to strengthen, wine to cheer!
Lord, behold us met together,
One in Thee, our risen Head,
Thus we take the cup of blessing,
Thus we share the broken bread.

Verse 4
Lord, we know how true Thy promise
To be with us where we meet,
When in Thy loved name we gather
To enjoy communion sweet;
Dearer still that looked-for promise
To each waiting, yearning heart,
That with Thee we soon shall be, Lord,
Yes, "forever" where Thou art.

Jesus, Lord, We Know Thee Present (Hymn 215)

The wonderful Jesus
Who is enthroned in heaven
And crowned with glory and honor
Is the greatest attraction in the universe.
He is like an immense magnet,
Drawing all His seekers to Him. 
His seekers to Him.
 
It's by being attracted by His charming beauty
That we look away from all things other than Him.
Without such a charming object,
How could we look away
From so many distracting things on this earth?

The Wonderful Jesus (Hebrews 12:2 Footnote)

Drink! A river pure and clear
That’s flowing from the throne;
Eat! The tree of life with fruits
Abundant, richly grown;
Look! No need of lamp nor sun nor moon
To keep it bright, for
Here there is no night!

	Do come, oh, do come,
	Says Spirit and the Bride:
	Do come, oh, do come,
	Let him that heareth, cry.
	Do come, oh, do come,
	Let him who thirsts and will
	Take freely the water of life!

Christ, our river, Christ, our water,
Springing from within;
Christ, our tree, and Christ, the fruits,
To be enjoyed therein,
Christ, our day, and Christ, our light,
and Christ, our morningstar:
Christ, our everything!

We are washing all our robes
The tree of life to eat;
"O Lord, Amen, Hallelujah!”—
Jesus is so sweet!
We our spirits exercise,
And thus experience Christ.
What a Christ have we!

Now we have a home so bright
That outshines the sun,
Where the brothers all unite
And truly are one.
Jesus gets us all together,
Him we now display
In the local church.
