Riches Untold

I have an account in heavenly bank,

And for this I only have Jesus to thank:

For He paid the price for an open account,

And now I can cash in for any amount!

When I must repeatedly choose to forgive

The one who destroyed all the life that we live,

I go to God’s bank where there’s riches untold –

Withdraw on Christ’s love, that’s worth much more than gold!

And then a deposit I place in His hand

Of every attempt from the evil one’s band,

To sow seeds of bitterness, anger or fear:

For I before Jesus must have a path clear.

So often it seems that I withdraw on grace,

But yet there is always some more in its place;

The heavenly revenue never depletes,

But needs great or small it repeatedly meets!

And when there’s a load that’s too heavy to bear,

I go to the teller at windows of prayer;

Where Christ the Lord gives me a full cash advance

Of strength that’s sufficient my load to enhance.

He takes a deposit of pain so untold

By grace turns it all into nuggets of gold;

No pain’s ever wasted when placed in His hand:

For He makes investments to use as He’s planned.

Of all that I have Lord, I give You control,

And ask that You work for the best of my soul;

Invest in my life, Lord, as You best can see,

And fit me for life in Your eternity!
