In you I have my treasure

The words of the scripture,
the tip of the iceberg
for it is in you that I have my treasure
Your love, your endless, steadfast love
relationship with you, oh God
Without your presence in my life
I was adrift, on the seas of the world
In you, a voice, to share your message
to reach the ends of the earth
your love, your grace, my joy
on my lips, shared for all to see
hope in the sacrifice of the savior,
the endless love of the father
willing to give so much
to bring us home
Daily you affirm that gift
if we but open our eyes
all of this, this creation,
this door opened for us
by your steadfast love
