letra de to know him (i count everything but loss) - david baroni

at a table made of stone, in a cold and dreary prison
an old man put his story into words
he wrote of suffering and loss, and the wonders of the cross
and his journeys from damascus road to rome

he was weak, and he was weary
but somehow he knew he was nearly home
and though in his flesh he suffered, in his spirit he was free
and god’s spirit moved upon him to write the words
that ring through history

i count everything but loss, except to know him
all the good and bad in me, i’ve gladly thrown away
one thing have i desired, and that’s to know him
and to show him to the world hе loves so much
that he still gives his lifе away
and it’s not i, but christ in me
who gives me life i never could repay
so i count everything but loss, except to know the one
who’s greater than the universe of words could ever say

so much that we hold precious are just trivial pursuits
distracting from life’s only worthy goal
and a lifetime of acquiring things and n0ble accolades
never can fill an empty soul
so, lord, teach your people to number our days
and to live them in the one we give them to
then the spirit of apostle paul will be on us who know
that these are more than clever words
they are alive, and they are true

i count everything but loss, except to know him
all the good and bad in me, i’ve gladly thrown away
one thing have i desired, and that’s to know him
and to show him to this world he loves so much
that he still gives his life away
so i count everything but loss, except to know the one
who’s greater than the universe of words could ever say

i count everything but loss, except to know him
all the good and bad in me, i’ve gladly thrown away
one thing have i desired, and that’s to know him
and to show him to this world he loves so much
that he still gives his life away
and it’s not i, but christ in me
who gives me life i never could repay
so i count everything but loss, except to know the one
who’s greater than the universe of words could ever say

i count everything but loss
except to know him
