Gladly Would I Leave Behind Me ~ Sovereign Grace Music (w/Lyrics)

- In 2009, I remember stumbling upon the first verse of Ann Griffith's hymn in a book and immediately thinking I'd found a gem. Her simple devotion resonated in my soul. As Christians, the desire to lay aside everything in order to gain Christ is a thought that should echo in everything we think and do. Ann's words capture that thought beautifully. I wrote additional lyrics to more fully express the gladness we experience as we long to glorify our Savior in life or by death. - Doug
lyrics
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
TAG
Gladly would I give to Jesus
All affection, everything
For the washing of His mercy
Makes my ransomed heart to sing

I just love Jesus. My prayer, above everything else that I long for. Is that I would leave behind everything preventing me from knowing my savior, even if that leads to death. And that I would be able to say at the point of my death that Jesus is Lord.
Jesus is the Perfect Saviour….
Beautiful. Starting to see what true worship vs contemporary Christian music is really about. Thank you Sovereign Grace.🙌
ten thousand times better and hillsong, bethel and elevation.
Earthly treasures, all are passing
Thieves break in and rust destroys
But in God are awesome splendor
Love, and everlasting joys. :)
Where else can I go? What else can I do? Jesus you're the one that I was meant to know... I'd gladly run to you...
Great song. Christh is a deep sea of Mercy and Grace.

Thanks to Jesus Christ.
Beautiful song, beautifully sung. I'll try to let our trainwreck of an experience at our SGM church slide so I can enjoy it. God heal all the survivors from this group of churches.
