Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Jesus, priceless treasure,
Fount of purest pleasure,
Truest friend to me:
Ah, how long in anguish
Shall my spirit languish,
Yearning , Lord, for thee?
Thine I am,
O spotless Lamb!
I will suffer naught to hide thee,
Naught I ask beside thee.
In thine arms I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Ev'ry heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Lightnings flash
And thunders crash;
Yet, though sin and hell assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
Satan, I defy thee;
Death, I now decry thee;
Fear, I bid thee cease.
World, thou shalt not harm me
Nor thy threats alarm me
While I sing of peace.
God's great pow'r
Guards ev'ry hour;
Earth and all its depths adore him,
Silent bow before him.
Hence with earthly treasure!
Thou art all my pleasure,
Jesus, all my choice.
Hence, thou empty glory!
Naught to me thy story,
Told with tempting voice.
Pain or loss
Or shame or cross
Shall not from my Saviour move me,
Since he deigns to love me.
Hence, all fear and sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Thought the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er
I here must bear,
Thou art still my purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure.
~ This hymn is by Johann Franck, written in 1655
(I think it is very true and poetic)
To you who belive . . . [he] is precious. 1 Peter 2:7

The Secret of Life
Is Letting Go
The Secret of Love
Is letting it show
In all that I do
And all that I say
Right here in this moment
The Power of Prayer
Is in a humble Cry
The power of Change
Is in giving my life
And laying it down
Down at your feet
Right here in this moment
Take my life
Take my Soul
I surrender everything to your control
And let all that is within me
Lift up to you and say
I am yours and Yours alone
Completely
This journey of life
is a Quest for Truth
This journey of Faith
Is following You
Every step of the way
Through the Joy and the Pain
Right here in this Moment
Take my life
Take my soul
I surrender everything to your control
And let all that is within me
Lift up to you and say
I am yours and yours alone

Music is an amazing thing. It can take you places, give you different feelings and also corrupt you if you don't scan what you are listening to!!! Music is in my family, and I adore it. I had so much trouble keeping clean music flowing to my ears, that I finally made up these rules for myself:
Have good music, and bad words?
Must have good music and no words.
Have bad music, and good words?
Must have no music and good words.
With God's help, I am accomplishing this!
