11 I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. 12 When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble. 13 Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.
There is a hill I cherish Where stood a precious tree The emblem of Salvation The gift of Calvary
How is it I should profit? While He is crucified Yet as His life was taken So I was granted mine
My wealth is in the cross There’s nothing more I want Than just to know His love My heart is set on Christ And I will count all else as loss The greatest of my crowns Mean nothing to me now For I counted up the cost And all my wealth is in the cross
I will not boast in riches I have no pride in gold But I will boast in Jesus And in His Name alone
My wealth is in the cross There’s nothing more I want Than just to know His love My heart is set on Christ And I will count all else as loss The greatest of my crowns Mean nothing to me now For I counted up the cost And all my wealth is in the cross Yes all my wealth is in the cross
And when I stand in glory My crowns before the Lord Let this be my confession My wealth is in the cross (hallelujah)
My wealth is in the cross There’s nothing more I want Than just to know His love My heart is set on Christ And I will count all else as loss The greatest of my crowns Mean nothing to me now For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth is in the cross There’s nothing more I want Than just to know His love My heart is set on Christ And I will count all else as loss The greatest of my crowns Mean nothing to me now For I counted up the cost And all my wealth is in the cross
Yes all my wealth is in the cross My wealth is in the cross Yes all my wealth is in the cross (hallelujah)

52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
45“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
Pearls unlike other precious minerals and rare gems are drawn from life in humble organic origins and spiritually symbolize wisdom earned through pain, polishing, secretion, refining and experiencing of the self to soul’s transformation. Appearing awkward on the outside, oysters are like followers of Christ and the church who have hidden in them glorious power of the Gospel and act as living treasure troves and pearls of spiritual wisdom deep inside
31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
44“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
