"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, He hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it" (Matthew 13:45,46). "Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it" (Ephesians 5:25). "Ye are bought with a price" (1 Corinthians 6:20).
Jesus came into this world,
Heaven's splendor left behind,
To seek a priceless, precious pearl:
What was this pearl He sought to find?
He found His treasure, come and see!
Behold the prize our Savior sought!
That treasure found is you and me,
With all the church His blood has bought.
What was it that He saw in us
That made Him pay that awful price?
Amazing love that offered thus
Himself to be our sacrifice!
