Not gold or silver or precious diamonds
Could ever take the place of You
My heart was restless till I discovered
Your love that stays so true
I was lost in darkness
But You have rescued me
Now every day I’ll praise You
As my God
In my time of trouble
I called upon Your Name
And You delivered me
From all my fears
For I have been no stranger
To the kindness of the Lord
On that day that I encountered You
This hope I’ve found was born
Like a brilliant ray of sunlight feels
After weeks of winter gloom
I closed the door on November
And stepped out in the month of June
And a thousand tongues will never be enough
To praise You as my God
Jesus Jesus
How I long for that day when I’ll
See You face to face
