Lyrics
My worth is not in what I own,
Not in the strength of flesh and bone,
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross.
My worth is not in skill or name,
In win or lose, in pride or shame,
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross.
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul!
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
As summer flowers we fade and die,
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by,
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross.
I will not boast in wealth or might,
Or human wisdom's fleeting light,
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross.
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul!
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
Two wonders here that I confess,
My worth and my unworthiness.
My value fixed – my ransom paid,
At the cross.
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.
I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure,
Wellspring of my soul!
I will trust in Him, no other.
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.

Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: By Keith & Kristyn Getty, and Graham Kendrick
We live in a world that constantly measures our value by what we accomplish, possess, or perform. Yet, this song gently reminds us that our true identity was settled at the cross. Your worth is never tied to your earthly status, successes, or failures, but to the infinite price Jesus paid for you. Today, release the pressure to prove yourself and rest in the glorious truth that Christ is your ultimate treasure.
