Chorus
Lord, You are more precious than silver
And Lord, You are more costly than gold
Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with You (repeat)

Oh who can weigh the volume of knowing You
And who could charge the worth of Who You are
Oh who could count the blessing of loving You
And who could say just how great You are
Oh who can weigh the volume of knowing You
And who could charge the worth of Who You are
Oh who could count the blessing of loving You
And who could say just how great You are

And nothing I desire compares with You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Revelation 19:1” brings together adoration of Christ and the biblical acclamation of heaven. Its opening images compare the Lord with silver, gold, and diamonds, declaring that no treasure or desire can equal knowing him. The repeated questions about measuring his worth reinforce a worshipful sense that divine greatness cannot be calculated. These lines keep the focus on the incomparable value of God rather than on material riches.
The latter section turns toward the language of Revelation, joining salvation, glory, honor, and power with repeated hallelujahs. Distinct vocal parts give the praise a communal shape, while the confession that the Lord is mighty, omnipotent, and wonderful remains the central declaration. Revelation 19:1 is directly reflected in the song, and Psalm 73:25–26 offers a close biblical parallel to its claim that nothing desired on earth compares with God. Together, these themes present worship as both personal devotion and shared heavenly praise.
