Contact me if the Spirit gives you the music to these words. I'm looking for a composer collaborator.
X
marks the spot
Here
in my heart
Where
crucified
My
Lord did die
But
from that tomb
My
Father gives
X
marks the spot
Where
my Saviour lives
You’ll
find there’s treasure
In
my heart
In
no small measure
Never
to depart
Jesus
the gems
The
precious stones
The
loot, the bounty
Polished
and honed
I
f you need a map to find the gold
Take
a look at this
I
wear a cross, an X over my heart
That’s
where Christ lives and this you should be told
Good
news you should not miss
He
is my Lord and never will depart
X
marks the spot where you’ll find treasure
Here
in my heart
The
cross on which my Lord was crucified
Father
God how He gives in great measure
X
is the mark
Where
Jesus lives and I am sanctified
Perhaps
you’ve memorised a Bible text
But
do you know by heart
With
gold and silver He need not compare
My
Lord abides right here at X
Here
in my heart
More precious than all else that enters there
