The kingdom of God is within you.
(Luke 17:21; KJV).
1. You are the treasure
Buried within us:
You are our hidden hoard.
2. You are our pearl
Beyond all price:
You are our holy Lord.
3. So, may we all
Grow more like you,
Impossible though that seems,
4. For you are our God,
The only One
Who rescues, restores, and redeems.
💛
He redeems me from death.
(Psalm 103:4; NLT).
