The Jewel Lyrics

To have the wealth of kings
Or a thousand diamond rings
To have mansions and manicured lawns
To have stretch limousines
Or my face in a magazine
Or servants running to my beckon call
Is nothing compared to what I've got
It's nothing compared at all

To be the best of the best
Nothing less than worldly success
To wear titles and a tall attitude
To be there leading the pack
Just to get a pat on the back
To be the owner of a gold card or two
It's nothing compared to what I've got
It's nothing compared at all 'cuz

I've got the jewel of the highest price
The jewel, a precious treasure inside
The jewel, I sold everything to have
The jewel in me is Christ

Oh how I searched high and low
Desperately wanted to know
The key to abundant life
Well, my mind led the way
My footsteps set the pace
But a silent prayer led this journey inside, and
It was nothing compared to what I thought I knew
It was nothing but a staggering truth 'cuz
