PRICELESS TREASURES

WHAT COULD I GIVE YOU THAT WOULD TRUELY PLEASE
ON A "TOPSY-TURVY" LIKE THESE?
I CAN'T GIVE YOU FREEDOM FROM VEXATIONS
OR EVEN LESSEN YOUR IRRITATIONS
I CAN'T TAKE AWAY OR EVEN MAKE LESS
THE THINGS THAT ANNOY, DISTURB, AND DISTRESS
FOR STORES DON'T SELL A SINGLE THING
TO MAKE THE HEART THAT'S TROUBLED SING
THEY SELL" THE NEW LOOK" SUAVE AND BLAND
BUT NOTHING THAT LENDS A "HELPING HAND,"
THEY SELL RARE GIFTS THAT ARE ULTRA-SMART
BUT NOTHING TO WARM OR COMFORT THE HEART
THE JOYS OF LIFE THAT CHEER AND BLESS,
THE STORES DON'T SELL, I MUST CONFESS
BUT FRIENDS AND PRAYERS ARE "PRICELESS TREASURES"
BEYOND ALL MONETARY MEASURES...

AND SO I SAY A SPECIAL PRAYER
THAT GOD WILL KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE...
AND IF I CAN EVER HELP YOU, DEAR,
IN ANY WAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR,
YOU'VE ONLY TO CALL, FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE
"SUCH AS I HAVE, I FREELY GIVE!"

THEY FIND JOY IN YOUR NAME ALL DAY LONG.
THEY ARE JOYFUL IN YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE GLORY OF THEIR STRENGTH.
BY YOUR FAVOR YOU GIVE US VICTORY.
