If I Gained The World But Lost The Savior Cifras

[Verse]
C                                   G
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
                                C
Were my life worth living for a day?
                                      G
Could my yearning heart find rest and comfort
                                  C
In the things that soon must pass away?
     F                              C
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
                 F         G        C
Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife?
        F                       C
Are all earthly pleasures worth comparing
             F      G             C
For a moment with a Christ-filled life?
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                G
Had I wealth and love in fullest measure,
                                C
And a name revered both far and near,
                              G
Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting,
                                     C
Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer;
     F                              G
If I gained the world, but lost the Savior,
                F         G        C
Who endured the cross and died for me,
           F                       C
Could then all the world afford a refuge,
               F        G       C
Whither, in my anguish, I might flee?
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                            G
O what emptiness without the Savio’r!
                              C
Mid the sins and sorrows here below!
                               G
And eternity, how dark without Him!
                                 C
Only night and tears and endless woe!
             F                        C
What, though I might live without the Savior,
        F           G            C
When I come to die, how would it be?
      F                              C
O to face the valley’s gloom without Him!
     F          G          C
And without Him all eternity!
 
 
[Verse 4]
C                          G
O the joy of having all in Jesus!
                                C
What a balm the broken heart to heal!
                                        G
Ne’er a sin so great, but He’ll forgive it,
                                C
Nor a sorrow that He does not feel!
       F                    C
If I have but Jesus, only Jesus,
          F           G           C
Nothing else in all the world beside—
        F                     C
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
        F              G          C
For my needs and more He will provide.
