Oh, that sweet Holy Land where God’s people will soon reside,

when our precious Jesus comes to claim His bride.

There is a great treasure box, I have been told,

overflowing with priceless pieces that would take a thousand men to hold.

The magnificent beauty of these jewels are far beyond compare.

They sit waiting for their owner to come claim them there.

Neither dust nor tarnish can find them to harm their brilliant shine.

They were individually handcrafted with love by our dear Divine.

The heir to these treasures was chosen by our Lord at birth,

and preparation for the inheritance was taught here on earth.

Skills were carefully instilled and sharpened over time,

for no ordinary individual could care for valuables so sublime.

Organization and counting expertise was definitely a must,

and above all there had to be an unconditional degree of trust.

The place of training was chosen with oh so careful measure,

and thus you became our Church Treasurer.
