Lyrics
Verse 1
My worth is not in what I own, not in the strength of flesh and bone, but in the costly wounds of love at the cross.
Chorus
I rejoice in my Redeemer— greatest treasure, wellspring of my soul. I will trust in him, no other; my soul is satisfied in him alone.
Verse 2
My worth is not in skill or name, in win or lose, in pride or shame, but in the blood of Christ that flowed at the cross.
Verse 3
As summer flow'rs we fade and die; fame, youth, and beauty hurry by, but life eternal calls to us at the cross.
Verse 4
I will not boast in wealth or might, or human wisdom's fleeting light, but I will boast in knowing Christ at the cross.
Verse 5
Two wonders here that I confess: my worth and my unworthiness; my value fixed, my ransom paid at the cross.
