Diamonds Rubies And Pearls

I'd rather be wise in the eyes of God

And a fool in the eyes of the world

Then to be the king of this vast domain

With diamonds and rubies and pearls

I'd rather seek first the kingdom of God

And His righteousness

Then all that I need will be added unto me

And I will be blessed

I will not store up my treasures on earth

For robbers to steal and for rust to corrupt

I will store up my treasures in heaven

Where nothing can harm them forever

When I consider the birds of the air

They do not sow nor do they reap

Yet my heavenly Father provides for their care

How much more will He care for His sheep

So I'll take no thought saying what shall I eat

What shall I drink what shall I wear

For my heavenly Father knows my every need

And He will sustain me in His tender care

I will not store up my treasures on earth

For robbers to steal and for rust to corrupt

I will store up my treasures in heaven

Where nothing can harm them forever

Consider the lilies that grow in the fields

They do not toil nor do they spin

But not even Solomon in all of his glory

Was ever arrayed like them

So I'll take no thought saying what shall I eat

What shall I drink what shall I wear

For my heavenly Father knows my every need

And He will sustain me in His tender care

I will not store up my treasures on earth

For robbers to steal and for rust to corrupt

I will store up my treasures in heaven

Where nothing can harm them forever

That's why I'd rather be wise in the eyes of God

And a fool in the eyes of the world

Then to be the king of this vast domain

With diamonds and rubies and pearls

Then to be the king of this vast domain

With diamonds and rubies and pearls

Written by Bruce Moss

To God be the glory

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;

and all these things shall be added unto you.  Matthew 6:33
