One thing is needful, just one thing I crave
To sit at the feet of my Lord
Riches that cannot be taken away
I drink in His mercy, and peace is restored
Chorus:
Yes, one thing, that one thing is Jesus
To know Him, and in Him be found
One thing, I count all things loss for that one priceless treasure I see
That one thing is Jesus to me
One thing is needful, one thing I desire
To dwell in the house of my Lord
To gaze on His beauty, and burn with His fire
To stand in His presence, where grace is outpourеd!
Chorus
One thing is needful, this one thing I do
I press toward thе mark of my Lord
To know Him in power, in sufferings, too
Forgetting things past, reaching toward my reward!
Chorus
That one thing is Jesus, to me
