[Verse 1] Not shaken by the winds that blow, John stood firm and made Christ known. No crown of gold, no earthly fame, Just one clear voice proclaiming His name. “Behold the Lamb,” his message rang, The hope of ages, heaven’s plan. From shadows old to glory bright, He pointed to the Lamb of light. [Pre-Chorus] Not by power, not by praise, But by the grace that Christ displays. The greatest gift, the highest call, Is knowing Jesus, Lord of all. [Chorus] The greatness of knowing Christ, The Lamb who gave His life for mine. The cross, the grave, the risen King, The hope and joy Your mercies bring. Though I may seem the least of all, Your grace has raised me by Your call. No earthly crown could ever be As great as knowing Christ in me. [Verse 2] John was great because he saw The promised Savior, Lord of all. Yet greater still the ones who know The cross where saving love was shown. The prophets longed to see this day, The risen Christ, the living Way. The Spirit dwells, Your Word shines clear, The kingdom’s blessings now are here. [Pre-Chorus] Not by power, not by praise, But by the grace that Christ displays. The greatest gift, the highest call, Is knowing Jesus, Lord of all. [Chorus] The greatness of knowing Christ, The Lamb who gave His life for mine. The cross, the grave, the risen King, The hope and joy Your mercies bring. Though I may seem the least of all, Your grace has raised me by Your call. No earthly crown could ever be As great as knowing Christ in me. [Bridge] Let worldly glory fade away, Let human honor lose its sway. The poorest heart that knows Your grace Has found its treasure, found its place. Your wounds, Your triumph, love divine, The richest truth, the greatest prize. Forever, Lord, my song will be: How great the gift of knowing Thee! [Final Chorus] The greatness of knowing Christ, The Lamb who gave His life for mine. The cross, the grave, the risen King, The hope and joy Your mercies bring. Though I may seem the least of all, Your grace has raised me by Your call. No earthly crown could ever be As great as knowing Christ in me. [Outro] Not by the world’s acclaim or praise, But knowing Christ through all my days. The highest joy, the greatest gift: To know the Lord, in whom I live.
