The Song of Endless Years

My Worth Is Not in What I Own

Keith and Kristyn Getty have just released a limited edition 7 track EP called The Greengrass Sessions. In addition to writing excellent hymns for worship, the Gettys continue to explore a musical connection that I find fascinating: the musical DNA shared by Irish Folk/Fiddle music and the Appalachian folk tradition. Much of the Appalachian folk, bluegrass, and early country music grew out of the styles brought to America by the immigrants from Scotland and Ireland. You can hear this most clearly in their rendition of Arkansas Traveller / All Hail the Power  and their new arrangement of their hymn Lift High the Name of Jesus.

My favorite track is the recording of their new song My Worth Is Not in What I Own, co-written with Graham Kendrick. This modern hymn strikes at the heart of our 21st century society and at the idols of materialism and status in my own heart. 


This track and the entire EP is exclusively available at their website. 


My Worth is Not in What I Own 

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

Refrain: 
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

Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed - my ransom paid
At the cross
