I was walking in the darkness,
My life so filled with sin,
Seeking for some kind of treasure,
That would give me peace within,
Then a light shone, down from heaven,
In my path there was a ray,
And I found that hidden treasure,
At an altar on that day.

I've found the treasure, the blessed Savior,
He is the treasure that my heart has yearned for so long,
It's such a pleasure, joy without measure,
To have the treasure of God's Spirit in my heart.

You may have your worldly pleasures,
You may have your wealth and fame,
You may seek for all your treasures,
In a life of sin and shame,
You may search the whole world over,
On the land, and in the sea,
But you'll never find a treasure, like the one God gave to me.
