In the Dirt

Here are the lyrics from a song I wrote back in 2007. It's called "In the Dirt" and its based on Matthew 13:44-46.  This little tune turned out to be rather prophetic in my own life.  Who knew.   


What price would I pay for the things of heaven,
to clear the stones away and find the treasure You’ve given

Would I give all I am just to be with You, take this broken man
would I say, take it all; I give everything to You

Such matchless worth; my hope and my vision
uncovered, unearthed; such priceless provision

Would I give all I am just to be with You, take this broken man
would I say, take it all; I give everything to You
Let Your kingdom reign; I’d give anything if just to gain You
I’d say, take it all; I’d risk everything for You
