TREASURE THE TRUTH

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

Treasure lost in a field

Found by a traveler

Then quickly concealed

Rejoicing—he gives up his all

To have the treasure

The kingdom of God

 

Jesus knew we were lost

And came as a traveler

To cover the cost

Unfailing—He paid with His death

Hoping we’d join Him

In the kingdom of heaven

 

Now truly we see what we are

For treasure will govern the heart

And if His heart moved Him to die

So we could live

Then His treasure is you and I

 

There’s treasure waiting in heaven

For all who follow

The truths He has given

He bids us come

So that’s what I will do

To have this treasure

I’ll treasure the truth

 

Truly we show what we are

For treasure will govern our hearts

And if our hearts will give up all

To live with Him

Then our Treasure’s the Son of God

 

Like Treasure laid in a tomb

Brought forth triumphant

In glorious view

I pledge my faith

And all that I can do

To win His treasure

He is my Treasure

To be His treasure

I’ll treasure the truth
