Lasting Treasure

Lasting Treasure (2/11/23)

Lord, in this Bread
I see Thy Face
Bread that’s not bread
Sight of which, the only trace

O Jesus, Your countenance
With radiance shines
Garment of white
This beauty, Thine

Highest Priest, adorned in glory
Red stole, Your mercy reminds us of
Your Body and Blood always given
On Your altars from Above

Your peace streams forth
From Your welcoming smile
Pulling us to You to
Love You and stay a while 

Your heart of gold
Your perfect will
Draws me further in
To be closer still

O loving Host
Christ, not bread
Keep hold of me
That on my final bed

This time spent aching
For You eternally
Be granted to Your servant
Lowly though I be

Each moment I crave more
Though treasure these moments, I do
Break my chains of sin 
My lasting Treasure be You

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 NIV The treasure within of being set free of old self, being formed and molded into a Child of God through His spirit revealing new hidden treasures, revealing what's going on around us and within us, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )
