This is treasure

This is treasure

by Joel Howard

Everyone's searching for whatever, wherever

Searching for long-lost treasure

Comparing ourselves by our own measure

Looking for long-lost treasure

Open your eyes above you! 

There is a shadow casting down beside you

Open your eyes to the chasm in you

Son you were made for treasure! 

This is treasure! 

Not that we loved Him 

but that He first loved us 

This is treasure! 

That He would lay His life down 

searching for us! 

You are the treasure in Abba's eyes

Son and daughter so its no surprise

What Abba says makes us live or die

His Word is our lasting prize 

This is treasure! 

Lay down your hunt for elsewhere

Find home right now in all He does

In Father's love 

This is our lasting treasure 

This is treasure
