Take the World but Give me Jesus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've thrown it all away that I might gain a life in You
I've found all else is loss compared to the joys of knowing You
Your beauty and Your majesty are far beyond compare
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer
(CHORUS)
Take the world, but give me Jesus
You're the treasure in this life
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Is my cry
Now I've seen You as the Savior, I will leave the rest behind
Take the world, but give me Jesus is my cry
Into the world I go that I might live this life of love
I won't be overcome, for You are in me and You are strong
For time and for eternity, I know I'm in Your care
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer
