Shane & Shane's song 'My Worth Is Not In What I Own' is a worship song that redirects the believer's identity away from worldly achievements, possessions, and fleeting beauty, anchoring it instead in Christ's sacrificial love at the cross. The lyrics emphasize that true worth is found in the blood of Christ and the eternal life He offers. The refrain rejoices in the Redeemer as the greatest treasure and source of soul satisfaction. The song also acknowledges human frailty and the temptation to boast in human strength, but ultimately boasts only in knowing Christ. It reflects a humble confession of both worth and unworthiness, with ransom paid at 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

 

Two wonders here that I confess

My worth and my unworthiness

My value fixed - my ransom paid

At the cross
