The Pearl

All that I have, I'll sell all that I have

To hold in my hand the pearl

Nothing I have, can compare with the prize

When I hold in my hand the pearl

Brigther than sun!

Clearer than glass!

Dearer than gold, the pearl!

Kingdom of God, is the kingdom of God

Is life, with my lord, the pearl!

All that I have, is ashes, is earth

Now that I've seen the pearl!

I will not rest, I cannot be content

Til at last, it is mine

Forever to shine

The kingdom of God...the pearl!

Let me gather every thing I own

All that in this dreary world, I've known

Pleasures and possessions, now, I bring

Trade them for one, single shining thing

All that I have, is ashes, is earth

Now that I've seen the pearl!

I will not rest, I cannot be content

Til at last, it is mine

Forever to shine

The kingdom of God, the pearl!
