Keith & Kristyn Getty's song 'My Worth Is Not In What I Own' featuring Fernando Ortega is a modern hymn that redirects the listener's sense of identity away from worldly achievements, possessions, and fleeting fame. Instead, it anchors worth in the sacrificial love of Christ demonstrated at the cross. The lyrics contrast human frailty and temporal success with the eternal value found in knowing Christ and being redeemed by His blood. The refrain emphasizes rejoicing in the Redeemer as the soul's greatest treasure and source of satisfaction. The song draws on themes of humility, grace, and the paradox of human unworthiness matched by divine worth conferred through the cross.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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


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
