My Treasure Chest

Today I have a treasure chest with gifts so full and free:
Redemption through the precious blood Christ shed on Calvary.
Empowered by His Spirit now to live the life I should,
Assurance from His promises that all things work for good.
Sufficiently supplied with all my need there through His grace,
Upheld when I go through life’s trials, whatever I may face.
Rest from my labored, weary soul when I take time to pray;
Each thing’s important to the Lord, He does not turn away.
Comfort when I suffer loss of someone dear to me,
Heaven’s home where I will go to dwell eternally.
Eternal life, the best of all, the treasures that He gave;
Security there in His hand—I am forever saved!
Today I shared my treasure chest and just SOME gifts have shown;
And pray you own a treasure chest just like the one I own.
