My Treasure

My treasure, My treasure, My treasure, what be?
What is the great treasure that matters to me?
You brought up the question, you know. I suppose
It used to be riches, money, drinking and fancy clothes!

It was all the values of the world, as the world goes, you see.
That sums it up! That is what mattered to me!
"Oh, fool," my heart said to me one day!
"That is not even close to the best way."

I said, "what do you mean? Tell me, please!"
"The highway of the Lord, begins on your knees."
I said to my heart. "Why are you so sure?"
He said, I am sick. And that is the cure!

"I will take you to the doctor. You are hurting, I see."
"Take me to the one doctor. He is the only one to help me."

I said, "Dear heart, His name? Please tell me quick!"
"see, you are so bad off and oh, so sick."
He said, "His name is Jesus. He heals hearts you know!"
"Take me to Him please. I am ready to go!"

So, I took my heart to Jesus that day.
He said, "Welcome, I am here to stay!"
My heart was made well, oh so quick.
It is so well, it will never get sick!
