Our Treasure Chest
Psalms 135:4
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself,
and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
The natural eye can only see
The here and now around you and me
It takes an eye of faith to view
All that’s real and all that’s true
Sometimes a child can view it best
Their faith hasn’t wavered from too many tests
And what they see is what they say
If we’ll listen God can talk to us that way
From the lips of a child He’ll speak to you
And completely change your point of view
We see a casket as a place of dread
But it’s totally different in a little child’s head
To them it doesn’t hold dread or fear
If you listen the casket to you will be dear
A child sees it different than you and me
When I heard what Cody said, I had to agree
It’s not just a box they put us in
If you’ll think it over you’ll begin to grin
Psalm 135 verse 4 says it best
It shows that a coffin is really a chest
Stay with me before you start to frown
It’s a chest we put down in the ground
What’s in that chest is without measure
In that chest is a Peculiar Treasure
We’ve laid our loved one in this chest
We trust the Lord to do the rest
A Treasure Chest is what you see
I told you that you would agree
We’re laying our treasure up in a place
Where we’ll get it back at the end of our race
Come dear Jesus, Judah’s Lion
Take our Treasure to you’re Zion
