Thought to be a treasure


1 Corinthians 6:20 

20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

 

 

One line advertisement ... look I’m here

There are no buyers and there is no interest

Hard to understand ... I am almost free

I thought to be a treasure ... being so well dressed

 

It appears I am priceless ... no one wants me for nothing

I am not even a bargain ... if I am given free

It surely points out ... that even in my clothing

I’m not worth the having ... I have no appeal

 

Somewhere there is someone ... who really loves my being

He is willing to pay my price ... with the value of His own life

Does not make any sense ... why should I be disagreeing

if He wants me that bad ... I’ll give up all my strife
