Lyrics

Better Than Gold
copyright 2009 Janet Steely


Verse 1:

Better than gold is Messiah to me.

In Him will i trust. My trust He will keep.

His precious Holy Spirit, my earnest guarantee

of promised rewards, waiting for me.


CHORUS:

Oh the beauty of His faithful majesty

Wealthy love, boundless and free

Amazing grace lavished on me.


Verse 2:

Royal redemption, sacred Holy Blood.

Sin's debt fully paid by mercy's cleansing flood.

Costly and extravagant, priceless gift of love

for whosoever will. It is more than enough.


CHORUS:

Oh the beauty of His faithful majesty

Wealthy love, boundless and free

Amazing grace lavished on me.


tag:

I am rich beyond measure in Messiah my treasure

Better than Gold is Messiah to me.

--

Fresh Gospel sound with a country flare. Well done. Sounds like Jason (one of the best voices and phrasing out there). Love the hook--amazing grace lavished on me. The more I listen, the more it sounds like a modern hymn--not an easy thing to do--Gospel/hymn like/country--so nice. all in 3:12--great. My only suggestion (just a suggestion) is, I am wondering if Messiah is too loaded for some listeners? Maybe just say Jesus...just a thought.
