This has a perfect blend of ephemeral tension to it. I wanted the listener to consider what they stood to lose whilst considering what they stood to gain; a huge field with treasure buried but required some toil to find it.
I wanted a song you can play in such settings that stirred a certain kind of...
My Treasure!....
My Treasure!....
Only
One Motive is I
Stay fighting the good fight and keep my eyes on the prize
Where your treasure is (Is)
That’s where your heart will also lie
And I struck Gold; my heart & soul to Jesus Christ and I know I
Found my treasure
Found my Treasure; found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my Treasure; found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my treasure
I've made up my mind
To follow the Christ, The rest of my life Yeah
(Yeah)
He paid the price for it (Yeah)
He gave His life for it (Yeah, Yeah)
Just cos it glows it don't make it Gold, because it's got shine to it
I have been blinded yeah;
He opened my eyes for real
I tell you no lies one thing that I know for sure
(I tell you no lie)
How on earth I deserve all this I just don't know
(Don't even know why)
I'm going hard and I'll trade in everything I own
(Give Him my life)
And tell all my bloods that I found the plug; I found the plug yeah
(Uh)
See I inherited the curse of Adam's foul
That's a hand me down that really had me down
He handed down a King whose hand was bound
Head was full of thorns; His feet was hammered down
My Saviour
What a treasure
Your splendour
Beyond measure
I'll serve You
Forever
Forever
Forever (Found my treasure)
Found my Treasure;
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my Treasure
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my treasure
Not settling
Just living a life for all the silver & gold
Here today and gone tomorrow
Displaying joy within sorrow oooo
(Until the Lord)
Ooo the Lord's revealed all of these things
Cos after summer comes winter
And the sweet taste is only temporary and soon will turn bitter
So, righteousness; my clothes
While Christ sits on the throne
Of my heart (Found my treasure)
Found my Treasure;
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my Treasure
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my treasure
I was an addict;
My Life was absolute chaos
Total bondage man
I was desperate
And then I turned to Jesus
He healed my heart and restored my Life
And I was free
Hiya My Name is Gordon
Before finding Christ
I had a hectic life
Erm I was involved
In like extreme kinda life
Selling drugs
Taking drugs
Just addicted to
That violence and the world around me to be fair
Everything felt so good
But then luckily about 3 years ago I found Christ
And my whole life took on a new purpose
Like I wake up every morning now happy
Smile on my face
Knowing that
I've got a love in my heart that wasn't there before
So it's the best thing I've ever done
Found my treasure
Found my Treasure;
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my Treasure
Found my treasure
Found my treasure; In salvation
Found my treasure
