The kingdom of the heavens is a merchant
Seeking finest pearls in the world;
A single pearl He found of greatest value,
He sold His all and bought it.

Christ loved the church,
He paid the price for her.
He knows her all-surpassing worth,
And I too give my all
To gain His pearl.

To gain His pearl.

A pearl is something transformed in death waters,
Not something created by God.
The church is nothing natural, but she's processed
Through death and resurrection.

Once just a little rock or grain of sand, we
Wounded Christ who died on the cross.
Our sinner-loving Savior, He embraced us—
Secreted life around us.

Although we wound the Savior, never leave Him.
In His wound remain, make Your home.
He'll keep dispensing resurrection into us,
Transform us to His treasure.
