You are a Treasure - a song for the Transgender Community (and for all of us)

Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice
That heartsick look in your eyes
You hide it very well, but I've got the same disguise

I know from all you see around you
You feel worth a very small price
So plain and ordinary, but there's a pearl inside

And if you look in the mirror in the light of the truth
You'll see there's really nothing you could say or do
To make you worth more to the One who made you

You are a treasure, worth more than anything
Under the sun or the moon, God's greatest treasure
Is the treasure of you, the treasure of you
That's a good news

The rich man treasures gold and silver
The wise man, his knowledge of truth
Some will hold to memories and some will cling to youth

But the one who carved out the oceans
And painted the stars in the sky
You are His prized creation, the apple of His eye

There's no one else in the world who could take your place
Just the thought of you brings a smile to His face
God loves you with amazing grace

You are a treasure, worth more than anything
Under the sun or the moon, God's greatest treasure
Is the treasure of you, the treasure of you

So take a look in the mirror in the light of the truth
Oh, yes it's true
See there's nothing more you can say or do
God loves the way He created you

You are a treasure, worth more than anything
Under the sun or the moon, God's greatest treasure
Is the treasure of you, the treasure of you

(Written by Steven Curtis Chapman and Geoff Moore, 1994)
