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
