[Title: Treasure That Remains] [Intro – Wordless Female Chorus] Mmm... Ooh... [Female Solo – Alto, Close and Intimate] I counted what was in my hands The keys, the walls, the things I knew I built a little kingdom here And called it safe because it grew But every shining thing I kept Could never quiet down my soul Then in the silence You were there Asking for the whole of me [Female Solo – Mezzo, Warm and Reflective] I thought that good enough Could buy a place beside Your throne I knew the words, I kept the rules But kept my heart my own [Female Duet – Soft] Then mercy looked me in the eyes And love would not be bought [Full Female Chorus – Restrained] What can I carry past this life? What can I hold when time is gone? Not the gold inside my hands Not the house I built upon You are the treasure that remains You are the life I cannot earn When I open up my heart Your eternal riches burn [Wordless Female Chorus] Ooh... You remain... [Female Solo – Contralto, Earthy and Intimate] A man came running down the road With questions in his restless eyes He knelt before the Holy One And asked the way to endless life [Female Solo – Soprano, Gentle and Clear] He had the wisdom of the law He had possessions without end But Jesus loved him tenderly And called him deeper than his wealth [Female Duet] There was one thing he could not release One door he would not let love through [Female Quartet – Gentle Build] The hands that clutch the world too tight Cannot receive what makes them new [Full Female Chorus – Wider, Still Controlled] What can I carry past this life? What can I hold when time is gone? Not the gold inside my hands Not the house I built upon You are the treasure that remains You are the gift I cannot buy Jesus, take this guarded heart Teach me how to live, not merely try [Bridge – Near A Cappella] [Female Solo – Alto] Not my name... [Female Solo – Mezzo] Not my pride... [Female Solo – Soprano] Not the things I kept inside... [Female Solo – Contralto] Only love... [Female Quartet – Building Softly] Only grace... Only Christ can fill this place [Full Female Chorus – A Cappella, Restrained] We are rich beyond measure When Your presence makes us whole We are rich beyond measure When You enter in our souls [Near Silence – Single Piano Note] [Female Solo – Barely Above a Whisper] I open the door... [Second Female Solo – Soft] Come into my life... [Female Duet] Forgive me, Savior Be my treasure tonight [Final Chorus – Female Chorus, Piano and Strings Return] What can I carry past this life? Only the love You placed in me Every mercy freely given Every soul You set free You are the treasure that remains When every earthly crown grows dim I will leave the world behind And find my life in You again [Final Refrain – Chorus Gradually Thinning] You remain... When all else fades away You remain... My riches every day You remain... Jesus, all I need [Outro – Two Female Voices, Unaccompanied] You are the treasure... That remains. [Single Piano Note]
