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 Credits: Verse one by Ann Griffiths (1805), music and additional words by Doug Plank © 2012 Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP) credits from From Age to Age, released 10 April 2012
