Pearl of Great Price

He is no fool to give up what he cannot keep

To gain that which he can never lose

For whatever we sow we will surely reap

By Gods grace we will wisely choose.

Oh pearl of great price you are our greatest treasure

It is no sacrifice to give up all our earthly measure

Oh light of things eternal, Oh pearl of great price

To glory in your presence will be our paradise

Where our treasure is there our heart will be

When we worship the most worthy one the unseen we will see.

This is life abundant this is blessedness

To seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness

To count it all as loss, to pay any cost

To gain the greatest treasure is ours to embrace

The thing of greatest worth in heaven or on earth

Is the weight of glory found in Jesus’ face

Oh pearl of great price you are our greatest treasure

It is no sacrifice to give up all our earthly measure

Oh light of things eternal, Oh pearl of great price

To glory in your presence will be our paradise
