What things were gains to me

What things were gains to me

These I now count as loss.

Jesus has set me free

From what I was!

All of the things I had;

Everything

good or bad

I count as refuse

That I may gain Christ!

I won’t give up!

I will keep running until

I have attained

The goal of my calling!

I must press on!

I must pursue until

I lay hold of Him

Who laid hold of me!

Forget the things behind!

Stretch for the things before!

Press onward with this mind:

Always want more!

Seeking in Him to grow

Increasingly to know

Him that I daily might

Be found in Christ.
