[Verse] Once upon a sea so wide Hidden treasure none could hide Far beyond the ocean's depth Lay a gem with secrets kept [Verse 2] Sailors talked of its fine glow Searching high and diving low Looked past things of no compare To find a pearl beyond the rare [Chorus] For this pearl no price too high Heaven beckons, whispers why All you own and all you trade Is worth the price that must be paid [Verse 3] In the market by the shore Merchants speak and shout for more But the wisest turns his gaze To the pearl that’s worth all praise [Bridge] Life’s treasures fade like morning dew Seek the one that's pure and true Though the journey may be long Find that pearl where you belong [Verse 4] Leave your gold and leave your dreams Find his path beside the streams Heart's desire and souls' delight In God's pearl there's shining light
