Treasure

So...two songs for you today. Both by the same artist. The first is one that really helped me get through some personal stuff, the second...is, in my opinion one of the most awesome 'couple' songs...well...married couple...not dating...but anyway here we go:

Treasure Of You:
Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice
That heartsick look in your eyes
You hide it very well, but I've got the same disguise
I know from all you see around you
You feel worth a very small price
So plain and ordinary, but there's a pearl inside

And if you look in the mirror in the light of the truth
You'll see there's really nothing you could say or do
To make you worth more to the One who made you.

You are a treasure
Worth more than anything under the sun or the moon
God's greatest treasureIs the treasure of you

The rich man treasures gold and silver
The wise man, his knowledge of truth
Some will hold to memories and some will cling to youth
But the one who carved out the oceans

And painted the stars in the sky
You are His prized creation, the apple of His eye
There's no one else in the world
Who could take your place
Just the thought of you brings a smile to His face
God loves you with amazing grace

So take a look in the mirror in the light of the truth
Oh, yes it's true
See there's nothing more you can say or do
God loves the way He created you...

I Will Be Here
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be hereIf in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear'
Cause I...I will be here

I will be here...
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' andlosin' and tryin'
We'll be together'
Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here
Just as sure as seasons
are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here

I will be here....
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold youAnd I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all thethings you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me
I...I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years'
Cause I...I will be here....
We'll be together'
Cause I will be here
