I Glory in the Cross

Life's counterfeit no longer charms,

I'll only glory in the cross.

I gladly leave the world behind,

Counting it as nothing lost.

 

I looked around at my collection,

Things I’d gathered by my skill;

Then I knew they each would perish,

Or be an object in my will.

 

I finally found the genuine;

I’ve found the treasure in the field.

I sold the world with all its glitter;

I have the jewel that’s real.

Mildred Eslick Garner


Matthew 13:44

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure

hid in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides,

and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
