Letra de If I Gained the World

If I gained the world, but lost the Savior
Would life be worth living for a day?
Could my yearning soul find rest and comfort
In the things that soon must pass away?
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior
Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife?
Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing
For a moment with a Christ-filled life?
If I gained the world in richest measure
My name known and loved both far and near
But lost sight of that safe harbor waiting
Where my storm-tossed vessel I might steer
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior
Who for me endured thе cross and died
Where in all thе world could I find refuge
Where my anguished soul could run to hide?
O, what emptiness, without the Savior
Swept by sins and sorrows here below
And eternity, how dark without Him
Only night, and tears, and endless woe!
And if I should live without the Savior
When I come to die, how would it be?
O, to face death’s shadowed way without Him
And without Him all eternity…eternity!
Oh, the joy of having all in Jesus!
He who comes, the broken heart to heal
Ne’er a sin too great, but He’ll forgive it
Nor a sorrow that He cannot feel
If I have but Jesus, only Jesus
Nothing else in all the world beside
Oh, then everything is mine in Jesus
For my needs and more He will provide
Oh, then everything is mine in Jesus!
For my needs and more He will provide
You can take this world
Just give me Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!
