Dirt for Diamonds

I will give up hay and stubble
And the  things of this poor earth
And no matter what the trouble
I’ll live for what has True worth

Everything not done in faith is sin
It’s dung and it is dross
The fantasies of dead men
Will only suffer loss.

I will give up dirt for diamonds
Time for eternity
I will give up passing pleasures 
For the treasures meant for me

I will seek the  pearl of great price 
I will fain all vain pursuits
I’ll become a living sacrifice
And bear God’s righteous fruits

Bridge
The grass withers and flowers fade 
If mountains crumble I won’t be swayed
God’s love is a never ending story
He will make me a vessel for  glory! 

I will give up dirt for diamonds
Time for eternity
I will give up passing pleasures 
For the treasures meant for me
