Treasure house

 This is a poem that I wrote some time ago.

Is your life a rat race

are you working just to live

Do you find that all will take

but no one wants to give

Do you say 'If only

I had a little more

I don't want to be wealthy 

but just not quite so poor'

Well friend I want to tell you

I've trod that pathway too

I tried to brave the storms of life

and skies were rarely blue

But now my life's quite different

I've found someone who cares

God sent the Saviour Jesus

in answer to my prayers

and now why need I worry

whether I'm rich or poor

I've found the greatest treasure house

and Jesus was the door

Inside this house of wonder

is neither want nor greed

and the Lord Who owns the manor

supplies my every need

I'm glad that I've relinquished

the endless path I trod

for while my mind was on this world

I couldn't see my God

But now my eyes are open

my life has turned around

and wisdom and salvation

are the treasures that I've found
