Your Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is
Your Heart Is Where Your Treasure Is!
I thought that I could make it on my own.
Till that day when I lost my job and home.
There were things in life I took for granted.
Till that one day, when all was “unplanted.”
There were many things that I had enjoyed.
Till that one day, when it was all destroyed.
I cried and wept as I see it all disappear.
But something that I discovered became clear.
No matter how many times I sought pleasure.
Where my heart is, there is also my treasure.
The treasures I thought would bring fulfillment.
Never did they bring true joy and contentment!
I began to pray like I had never done before…
God was what I needed... I needed HIM more!
The love of God spoke to me, as I knelt down...
And soon, I felt HIS presence all around!
I lost everything in life, that I thought I needed!
But, through Jesus, my life is now completed!
Jesus brought a heavenly treasure that I never knew
He filled my emptiness, and made me “brand new!”
He came to where I was! I was empty within...
And gave me the victory to live life AGAIN!
The treasure in Christ brought healing to my mind!
I love him so much! He’s so gentle and kind!
The treasure in Christ, is a wonderful delight.
This eternal treasure… Can be yours TONIGHT!
