Verse 1
Gladly would I leave behind me all the pleasure I have known
To pursue surpassing treasures at the throne of God the Son
Worthy of unending worship love and loveliness is He
By His precious death were millions from the jaws of death set free
Verse 2
Gladly would I give to Jesus all affection, everything
For the washing of His mercy makes my ransomed heart to sing
"Holy, holy!" is the chorus, rising up from those who see
Christ exalted, bright and burning full of pow'r and purity
Chorus
Where else can I go? Jesus, You're the One
That I was made to know what else can I do?
Jesus, You're my all I gladly run to You
Verse 3
Gladly would I flee temptations for their troubles fill my life
Turn and seek my God and Savior for His goodness satisfies
Earthly treasures, all are passing thieves break in and rust destroys
But in God are awesome splendor, love, and everlasting joys
