IF I GAINED THE WORLD

Composed by Anna Olander
[tr. Composite]

If I gained the (G)world, but lost the Sav(D)ior
Were my life worth (D7)living for a (G)day?
Could my yearning (G)heart find rest and (D)comfort
In the things that (D)soon must pass a(G)way?
If I gained the (D)world but lost the (C)Sav(G)ior
Would my gain be (D)worth the lifelong (G)strife?
Are all earthly (D)pleasures worth com(C)par(G)ing
For a moment (D)with a Christ-filled (G)life?

Had I wealth and (G)love in fullest (D)measure
And a name re(D7)vered both far and (G)near
Yet no hope be(G)yond no harbor (D)waiting
Where my storm-tossed (D7)vessel I might (G)steer
If I gained the (D)world but lost my (C)Sav(G)ior
Who endured the (D)cross and died for (G)me
Could then all the (D)world afford a (C)re(G)fuge
Whither, in my (D)anguish, I might (G)flee

Oh the joy of (A)having all in (E)Jesus
What a balm the (E7)broken heart to (A)heal!
Ne'er sin so (A)great but He'll e'er for(E)give it
Nor a sorrow (E7)that He does not (A)feel!
If I have but (E)Jesus, only (D)Je(A)sus
Nothing else in (E)all the world be(A)side
Oh then every(E)thing is mine in (D)Je(A)sus
For my needs and (E)more He will pro(A)vide

If I gained the (E)world but lost my (D)Sa(A)vior
Would my gain be (E)worth the lifelong (A)strife?
Are all earthly (E)pleasures worth com(D)par(A)ing
For one moment (E)with a Christ-filled (A)life?
