He bought the whole field for joy.
He bought the whole field for sheer joy.
A man found a treasure,
It was hidden in a field
He bought the whole field for joy.
Paul was a Hebrew by birth.
He left his land to inherit the earth.
He sowed God’s word and when the seed gave yield
In the hearts of a few, he bought the whole field.
A rich, young man searching for truth.
Who kept the commandments the whole of his youth.
Was promised a Kingdom if he gave away all
But he didn’t have the vision of Paul.
Don’t keep your treasure in a room
For a thief to steal or a moth consume.
All our gain we count but loss
We are rich in Christ who chose a cross.
The kingdom of Heaven we’ve found
Is so like a treasure hidden in the ground.
The ground is the people who long to be healed
If you really want the treasure love the whole field.
