A raw, acoustic blues inspired by the Pearl of Great Price parable. Slide guitar, foot-stompin’ rhythm, and a story about giving everything for something truly worth it.
Scripture Matthew 13:45-46
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I was walkin’ by the shoreline,
Lookin’ for somethin’ to call mine.
Saw a trader hold a treasure,
Said, “Son, this one’s hard to find.”
Verse 2
He showed me that shining pearl,
Glowed like dawn in a weary world.
My heart stopped when I saw it,
Felt the truth start to unfurl.
Refrain
I sold my house, sold my coat,
Sold the boots on my feet that day.
Gave up all that I was holdin’,
Just to buy that pearl and walk away.
Verse 3
Friends said, “Man, you lost your mind,
Givin’ up all your life behind.”
But I said, “Boys, when you find real worth,
You don’t leave anything behind.”
Refrain
I sold my house, sold my coat,
Sold the boots on my feet that day.
Gave up all that I was holdin’,
Just to buy that pearl and walk away.
Bridge
Some chase gold, some chase fame,
Some just run from their own name.
But when heaven lays a pearl before you,
You’ll never see life the same.
Outro
So I walk light, but my soul feels right,
Got a treasure no thief can steal.
Gave all I had for that one great pearl—
Best bargain I ever sealed.
