To Gain His Pearl

NS1000
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
