A Treasure Hunt

When you look at yourself what do you see?

Do you know the beauty that is inside of you?

Do you see all that I have created you to be?

You are a most beautiful, and a costly jewel.

For you are rubies and emeralds and diamonds and such

I gave all I have for you, I created you, I love you very much

Somehow you were lost and thrown in the dirt

When I lost you my heart was full of sorrow and hurt

So I pulled out my satchel and packed up my shovel

I went on a treasure hunt for a jewel through all that rubble

I packed up my treasure map and off I went on a journey,

I went that I may hunt for my lost precious treasure in a hurry

When I found you were covered with dirt and there was mire

But when I am through cleaning you, I’ll give that jewel back its fire

I will chisel and polish that lost jewel so it will shine

You are a costly treasure you are my own one of a kind

Underneath that rock stands a jewel shining bright as a star

The warmth of that jewel will draw many from near and from far

I Am your High Priest I will bear your name upon on my breast

I have made a special place for you inside the Father’s treasure chest
