[Intro] [Acoustic guitar, warm organ swell, light fiddle pickup] Yeah… Some folks count dollars, Some folks count miles… But I found a treasure That don’t fit in a bank account. [Verse 1] I was sittin’ on the porch with my coffee gone cold, Tryin’ to stretch a paycheck, countin’ pennies like gold, Truck needed tires, dog chewed up my shoe, Lord, I said, “You got a coupon for a man like me too?” Then I opened up Ephesians, let the red dust fall, Paul wrote to hurting people with not much at all, Said, “You may feel empty, but you’re rich beyond measure,” I leaned back in that lawn chair and said, “Now that’s treasure.” [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause heaven’s got a way Of changing what a poor man sees, When grace walks through the door And puts peace in your knees. [Chorus] I’m rich in what matters, Rich in mercy, rich in grace, Got a Father who knows my name And a Savior who took my place. Ain’t talkin’ silver, ain’t talkin’ gold, Ain’t a number this world can hold, I got the unsearchable riches of Christ— Hey! That’s a good life! [Crowd Shouts] Hey! That’s a good life! Whoa! Rich in what matters! [Verse 2] The preacher said “unsearchable,” I said, “That’s quite a word,” Means you can’t find the bottom, no matter how far you’ve searched, Like tryin’ to count the stars or the drops in a rain, Or explain why a bad day can still praise His name. ‘Cause I deserve a lightning bolt, a hard knock at the door, Maybe mosquitoes, and a house full of cats—Lord knows I’d deserve more! But Jesus took the judgment, paid the debt I could not pay, Now mercy meets me every single morning on the way. [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets dark, When the doctor gives a hard-to-hear report, His peace comes rolling in Like a screen door in a summer storm. [Chorus] I’m rich in what matters, Rich in mercy, rich in grace, Got a Father who knows my name And a Savior who took my place. Ain’t talkin’ silver, ain’t talkin’ gold, Ain’t a number this world can hold, I got the unsearchable riches of Christ— Hey! That’s a good life! [Crowd Shouts] Hey! That’s a good life! Whoa! Rich in what matters! [Bridge] [Half-time feel; organ rises, fiddle answers lead vocal] When I walk through the valley, I don’t walk there alone, He’s the peace that passes understanding, He’s the way back home. He sees my fear, He knows my dreams, He holds tomorrow in His hands, And the King of all creation Calls me child, calls me friend. [Breakdown] [Handclaps, bass and acoustic only] Grace when I don’t deserve it! [Crowd: Grace!] Mercy when I should’ve paid! [Crowd: Mercy!] Peace when the whole world’s shaking! [Crowd: Peace!] Jesus made a way! [Final Chorus] [Full band; gospel backing vocals; crowd-shout responses] I’m rich in what matters, Rich in mercy, rich in grace, Got a Father who knows my name And a Savior who took my place. Ain’t talkin’ silver, ain’t talkin’ gold, Ain’t a number this world can hold, I got the unsearchable riches of Christ— [Tag] Salvation, purpose, joy and peace, His love don’t run out, it just won’t cease! I got the unsearchable riches of Christ— Hey! That’s a good life! [Crowd Shouts] Hey! That’s a good life! Rich in what matters! Jesus is enough! [Outro] [Acoustic guitar, organ, fiddle tail] Yeah, my pockets may be light… But my soul is rolling deep.
