Poetry
Treasure Box
My treasure box is full
Upon a shelf it sits
Never do I take it down
For fear of spoiling it
Its contents are dear to me
Each piece collected carefully
Fervently I cling to them
As if they could save my soul
Jesus came into my heart one day
Asking me to empty this box
Giving up all that was my treasure
That I had guarded so carefully
With His help this I did
Throwing away my earthly treasures
He filled my box with His love and grace
Now my treasure box overflows
Never again will it sit
Closed and guarded
For this box which is my soul
Belongs to my Lord Jesus Christ
