Product Description
About the song: This anthem begins by compelling the listener and the performer to consider the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl. The second verse reflects on David's superlative description of God's Word in Ps. 19. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul speaks of "the surpassing worth of knowing Christ" when compared to everything else in this life. The lyrics of this song are intended to echo these Truths, encourage the believer, and testify to the incomparable gift of entering into the Kingdom of God, understanding His Word, and being strengthened and set free to do the good works that He prepared in advance for us to do.
Can be performed with piano accompaniment only, OR with additional band members (rhythm chart included), OR with full orchestra.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Like a treasure in a field,
Is the matchless worth of Christ.
For the kingdom of heaven, I give my life.
Like a pearl of great value,
Perfect and pure.
I leave it all behind cause of this Im sure.
Chorus 1
He called out my name,
And broke evry chain,
Love so amazing, so divine!
He rescued my soul,
And made my heart whole,
Now I am His and He is mine!
Im taking up my cross,
And I count it all as loss.
Nothing compares to what I have in the Lord.
Verse 2
More precious than gold,
Is the Word of the Lord.
Greater and higher than anything this world
affords,
It is sweeter than honey,
Straight from the comb.
My delight is in Jesus, I no longer walk alone.
Chorus 2
He called out my name,
And broke evry chain,
Love so amazing, so divine!
He rescued my soul,
And made my heart whole,
Now I am His and He is mine!
Im taking up my cross
And I count it all as loss
Nothing compares to what I have in the Lord.
Bridge (x2)
In the Lord I find strength for every day,
In the Lord every fear is washed away.
In the Lord hope and peace are here to stay,
Whatever comes my way, I will lift my voice and say.

Chorus 3
He called out my name,
And broke evry chain,
Love so amazing, so divine!
He rescued my soul,
And made my heart whole,
Now I am His and He is mine!
Im taking up my cross,
And I count it all as loss.
Nothing compares to what I have in the Lord.
Nothing compares to what I have in the Lord.
Nothing compares to what i have in the Lord.
