Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
Will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
They will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure
You are my treasure

This song had always been played when I was kid. If I'm not wrong we had it on tape. But can't remember if Chris originally have sung and written this. I still remember how it sounded more of a choir of kids singing and I so much love that version. I can't even find it on web since we lost the tape. Did Chris originally wrote this? Because this song is sooooo old. Help me please 😭
