Your Treasure is Already Here
by Effie Darlene Barba
In the dark of the night
In the midst of a dream
When shadows surround
The heart wants to scream
Of sorrows and pains
The guilt that constrains
Eyes open to search for light’s beam
Then a whisper of song
Brings God’s truth in a thought
His promise of love
Salvation He bought
The fears of the night
Must now take their flight
As He is the Joy I have sought
In the dark of the night
In the midst of man’s scheme
Christ whispered my name
His prayer bore this theme
To give me His love
His joy from above
This wretch he did so esteem
And so “Heart do not cry!
And you mind do not fear!”
Your God hath a plan
To bring your heart cheer
You may not see now
The way or the how
Yet, your treasure is already here
