The songs on this album were written from the heart, and tell the simple story of God's love. It is only by His grace that they have made it this far on life's exciting, and often tumultuous journey. Every song on the album was written, arranged and performed by brother/sister recording artists Jan and Joe Nethery.
Their multiple genre music crosses all denominational boundaries - in fact people from all faiths, even those with no faith, have expressed how much their music means to them...
They hope "Coming Home: Songs of Faith" blesses you as much as producing it has blessed them
Note: The instrumental, "Heaven's Child" was written as a tribute to Jan's little guy, Tee, who passed away at the age of 13.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world's greatest treasure the treasure of happiness
Your smiles are my pearls and the touch of your lips are so warm and rare
Your eyes are my diamonds and my gold is the gold in your hair
Earth has its treasures of fabulous wealth untold
And who can measure the treasure the oceans hold
But wherever it be underneath the sea or the sky above
There is no treasure like the treasure of your love
(You are my treasure)
There was a time when I thought I could find happiness in silver and gold
(The world's greatest treasure)
And I longed for fame and wordly acclaim
And I hunger for these things filled my very soul
But then you came along and now I know I was wrong
For in your eyes I can see the greatest treasure in all the world
The treasure of your love for me
Earth has its treasures...
