Poetry Truth

The Pearls You Seek

More precious than the finest jewels
Are lives – lived out – in grace
Reflections of a Love so fine
Upon our Father’s face

When morning breaks – upon the stones
And bodies start to creek
Our lives reveal the gems un-cut
Awaiting our efface

He washes all the living dirt
That years have added on
And scars removed with cloth so fine
That only Faith – remains

Then with the final touch of Hope
Find water drawn from stone
We’ll search and find that Grace is from
The tears that are His own

When Sunshine fades and Truth’s revealed
We’ll see that we were Pearls
Who’s fashion’s not – by mortal hands
Yet precious – in His eyes

Forgive me Father – Sister – Friend
When stains are all I see
Help us put on – The Eyes of Love
And see – The Pearls You Seek
