Place Your Gold in the Dust

Words from Job 22:21, 24-28
Music and additional words by Craig K. Sandford

What is this you hold so tightly?
What is this you cling to so?
Clenching fists to draw it closer,
Daring not to let it go?

In your eyes it’s precious gold,
All you love and cherish,
All you cannot live without,
All you value most.

Chorus:
Place your gold in the dust,
Lay the treasure you hold in the stones of the brook:
Then the Almighty will be your gold,
The choicest of silver will fill all your days.
The treasure He is will surpass all you know,
So let go, and place your gold in the dust.

There is much He longs to give you
From His boundless treasure store;
Wealth more vast than scope or measure,
He is all you need and more.

Are your hands still tightly closed?
Hanging on to fool’s gold?
He can only fill your life
If they’re open wide.
Yield to Him and be at peace.
(Chorus)

Then you will delight in the Almighty,
And lift up your face to God.
You’ll cry unto Him and He will hear you,
And light will shine on all your ways.

Then the Almighty will be your gold,
The choicest of silver will fill all your days.
The treasure He is will surpass all you know,
So let go, and place your gold in the dust.

Be Encouraged!
