Jesus is Life's Greatest Treasure
The greatest treasures of this life;
Are not the artifacts of old.
Not treasures hid deep in oceans wide;
Not treasures of silver or gold.
The greatest treasures of this life;
Are not found in houses or lands.
Not found in an education:
Magnificent ideas or plans.
We treasure and enjoy nature:
Along the garden paths and streams.
Love the view of a setting sun:
Breathing in the fragrance of spring:
Yes, all these things are treasures;
Each creature, each flower, each tree.
And each mind boggling wonder.
From sparkling sea, to sparkling sea.
Each person is a treasure to Christ;
That's why He died for you and me.
Like precious stones mined from the rocks;
But worth more than it's treasury.
Though children are cherished treasure:
More than mere words could really say.
Though we treasure and love our spouse:
And precious time with them each day.
Jesus is life's greatest treasure:
Without Him all treasure is lost.
Eternal treasure will remain:
Because Jesus has paid the cost.
Jesus is life's greatest treasure:
Without Him all hell would break forth.
All would be lost and hope be not:
Eternal damnation our course.
Jesus is
unfolding treasure;
Hope everlasting, life anew.
If you would believe upon him;
A treasure forever in you.

(Song)
1Peter 1:18-21
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Peter 1:18-21
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
