My Treasure, But, Ifs

“But, If, we are in His fold and are called his friends, Christ’s’ word to us is this: don’t be afraid; You are worth more.” But. LORD, how do I know If you find me worthy But, Lord will you fill Because I am thirsty If…if, LORD, it is so that I am loved despite my feeling low show me from above You, LORD, are a treasure stored away for someday; but, LORD, I have treasures placed in storage away There’s the old dinner bell That rang for farm noon meals And dolls and my tricycle But, they tug deep – I feel! If they are all are gone Will I be less? But, what if I die and they are there Will they be a gift? But, LORD, you know my heart, more precious than my things is the treasure I have in your fold; You LORD, my everything -Evelyn Pearl Anderson
