REALLY-WANT - WANT but shaken back and forth to show intensity.

GET-TO KNOW - GO-AHEAD KNOW, where the first sign is (2h)[B^ dot], POs ><, FOs away, move forward in a jerk.

GO-TOWARDS-GOAL - like the sign GOAL but the DH moves in a vertical circle while going towards the goal to show a constant process.

THAT'S-#ALL - FINISH with the mouthing "that's all".

TRUE-BIZ - TRUE + (2h)[S], POs down, FOs away, DH brushes from side to side across NDH wrist.

Lyrics:

Refrain: All I want, all I need is to know Christ; to follow the Lord. I press on toward the goal, the prize of the call of God.

1. Everything but this is loss and worthless to me. After gaining Christ, there is nothing, nothing that I need.

2. I want to know the Lord, and the power of God's love; Becoming like Christ in death, I may rise, rise to new life.

3. Forgetting what lies behind, forward I'll go. I press on to make it my own; Christ Jesus made me whole.
