Give up the world, Christ to obtain,
He is your heart’s very need;
What else can you desire or seek?
All things are empty indeed!
He is your heart’s very need;
What else can you desire or seek?
All things are empty indeed!
He is so rich, He is so full,
He can fulfill all your needs!
He is so good, He is so sweet,
All your desire He exceeds!
He can fulfill all your needs!
He is so good, He is so sweet,
All your desire He exceeds!

Give up the world, Christ to obtain,
He is the One you require;
Once you receive this glorious Christ,
Never the rest you’ll desire.
He is the One you require;
Once you receive this glorious Christ,
Never the rest you’ll desire.

Though very great is all the world,
And very small is your heart,
Yet the great world with all its wealth
Never can fill your small heart.
And very small is your heart,
Yet the great world with all its wealth
Never can fill your small heart.

If you have Christ, you have all joys;
Without this Christ, only pains;
Where there is Christ there morning is;
Where He is not, night remains.
Without this Christ, only pains;
Where there is Christ there morning is;
Where He is not, night remains.

God treasures Christ more than anything else; the Lord Himself will be our treasure; He will hear us, He will be our delight, He will lift up our countenance, and His light will shine on our way.

All your desire He exceeds!
Hallelujah! 😀

Matt 8:22 "... Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead"
Christ can only be rich to us if we are not already occupied with other things.

The only way to obtain Christ is to set your mind on “the things above, ” (Christ & the Church) the eternal things which are above and not the temporal things that are passing away on the earth, distractions that take us away from God. The Church is heavenly, glorious, divine and is therefore is of God. 1Corinthians 1:2 says, “To the church OF GOD, which is in Corinth…”
Thus, the church has no name other than the fact that a certain number of people have received God’s life, in Christ, and meet together in a given city, therefore the ground of the church in that city is according to God and not according to man. Hallelujah!

Give up the world, Christ to obtain. Oh Lord Jesus, our heart is so small, but You desire to fill our small heart. This world cannot fill any man’s small heart, even though the world is so big. We love You. We want You only. Today and everyday.

Very good hymn with very good message. It helps us to deny our flesh which lust on earthly things as opposed to our spirit which desires heavenly things. Brother Paul told us that the things we see are temporal, but things unseen are permanent. Therefore brothers and sisters let us focus on heaven things
