"The kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." ~Matthew 13:45&46
My eyes roam around to see what I can find
I always look for gold, but I get lost in the mine
Why do I search for happiness in things I know are vain?
I know God, You're the only One who can take away this pain.
I have a hole in my heart,
that leaves me feeling torn apart
and I can't seem to get it through my head,
that only You can ressurrect me from the dead...
from the deadness that I feel,
when I doubt that You are real.
This world and it's desires are quickly passing away,
But I get so caught up in the moment when I know that You're the way
The only way to joy, the only way to peace
but the only time I turn to you is when I'm crumbling to my knees.
The world may bring its fun but the weight of it all soon drops me
Help me God to see the importance of not wasting eternity.
For tomorrow will soon be yesterday and the time soon will cease.
I need Your Holy Spirit to send me a release
from this lie that holds me back
keep me from becoming slack,
in my prayers and in my worship
Because Your presence is always worth it.
Take me away from the cares of this world
and my desires for temporal things...
Because Jesus You are the Pearl
in which the Heaven sings
You are the valuable pearl that I've longed for
Enable me to give You more.
Author's Notes/Comments:
People don't realize how valuable and precious Jesus is... He loves us so much, He died for us so we could be in heaven with Him for eternity.
I have found that there is nothing in this life or in this world that is worth more than the love of Jesus Christ... He is my one and only pearl and I'll gladly give up everything I have to be with Him.
