A Treasure
In My Soul

As I bow down here at your alter
This heart Father I give to you
Over and over I praise you
Because to you my God it's all due

Your love is unlike none other
It's more precious than SILVER and GOLD
The wealth of this world couldn't repay you
All your glory is still yet untold

I reflect back on all of your GOODNESS
Your MERCIES to me you did pour
When man closed those doors in my face
Then my God you opened some more

That's why I just love to praise you
You've always stood right by my side
And when storms of life overwhelm me
In your chamber I come just to hide

Beneath your Almighty Shadow
I come Father . . . YES to abide
Your arms are always extended
My God they're opened so wide

That's why deep down in my spirit
Is a treasure my God just for you
It's filled with DIAMONDS and RUBIES
ONYX and some EMERALDS too

They're reserved for none else BUT YOU
The one who deserves all my love
I bow Lord here at your alter
My Sweet Sweet Sweet Heavenly Dove

I open this treasure before you
Just a token . . . A gift from my soul
Crack open my heart Lord before you
So my love for you can unfold
