The Treasure and the Truth

The Treasure and the Truth

 

When I was wandering

Lost and alone in darkest night

You sought and saved me,

Showed me the way to walk in light

When I was hopeless

You paid the price to give me faith

Now I will follow

Enter into the Holy Place.

 

For now all things are changed And are made new

My life is rearranged living in you.

 

Oh blessed hope who casts out fear

You are the treasure and the truth that we pursue here.

You rose again to provide the Living proof

And You alone can be our treasure and our Truth.

 

Oh treasure beyond measure

Oh Truth that sets us free,

May we live to your good pleasure

May we die with integrity.

 

Oh in our waning twilight days

As in the days of our youth

Let us never cease to give you praise

You are the treasure and the Truth.
