THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE

December 8, 2003

Like the merchant of old in the book of Matthew
I have sought for a pearl and so have you,
Having no idea where on earth to look,
Much like the merchant in God’s holy book.

Neither of us were aware of our search;
We simply sought comfort at Resurrection Church,
For we both had loaned our Pearls to the Lord
And for comfort drew near to where comfort was stored.

How could we know that angels above
Would touch our friendship and change it to love,
That God in his wisdom, with a beautiful Girl
Would touch her sweet heart, and make it my pearl?

Or that He too would do likewise for me,
And by this great miracle set us both free?
But the fact that fulfills and makes life so nice
Is we both feel in love with a Pearl of Great Price.
