Daniel James: Music

A Treasure

(Daniel James)
November 1, 2005
Daniel James Martinusen
(Verse 1)
I saw an old man and woman holding hands
On a quiet country road
They were walking as if they didn’t have a care
Like love would always be there to keep them alive
They must have found a treasure that no earthly thing
Nor anyone can take away

I saw a new mom and dad looking down
At their new baby girl
With expressions of love and joy
Emotions surreal and in their hearts they feel
They must have found a treasure that no earthly thing
Nor anyone can take away

(Chorus)
With feelings so strong words can’t describe
Through ages of time a love that won’t die
There’s a story in their faces and their hearts
They can’t help but say
They must have found a treasure that no earthly thing
Nor anyone can take away

(Verse 2)
I saw a young man kneeling down at an altar
In a quiet country church
He was crying and confessing his sins
Like an open book to Jesus and I heard my heart say
He must have found a treasure that no earthly thing
Nor anyone can take away

(Repeat chorus)
