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.
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.
