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!
