Song

Do You See the Pearl?

SearchingPurposeTruthSurrender

A raw confession about the gap between Sunday faith and Monday living, built on the parable of the merchant who sold everything for one pearl of great price. Seven days, then a group session.

"Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."
Matthew 13:46

A song for the road you're on.

Lyrics

Do You See the Pearl?

[Verse 1]
Third pew back every Sunday morning
Hands raised high when the chorus swells
Sayin' amen with the choir singin'
Then drivin' home to a quiet hell
Nobody knows what I keep buried
Six days deep where the light don't reach
I got Sunday down to a science
But it ain't ever changing me

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror shows me who I am
Then I walk away the same
Lord, I'm tired of walkin' away the same

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that you love the Father
Show me
Don't tell me that you found the pearl
If you never sold it all
Don't tell me you're a fighter
If you never took a swing
Talk is cheap, but grace ain't
Show me
Let it cost you something — show me

[Verse 2]
Cowboys kick off, I got my feet up
Sermon's gone by the second down
Sunday faith and Monday secrets
Two different men in the same old town
I know the verses, man, I can quote 'em
Chapter and line, every time
But when's the last time all that light
Ever touched this dark of mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror shows me who I am
Then I walk away the same
Lord, I'm tired of walkin' away the same

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that you love the Father
Show me
Don't tell me that you found the pearl
If you never sold it all
Don't tell me you're a fighter
If you never took a swing
Talk is cheap, but grace ain't
Show me
Let it cost you something — show me

[Bridge]
Lord, I'm done just being a hearer
Done hiding behind a song
Here's my guilt, here's every secret
Break it all and make me Yours

[Final Chorus]
Now I won't just say I love You, Father
I'll show You
I'm selling all I've held onto
For the pearl I finally see
Every secret, every Sunday
Laid down here at Your feet
Don't let me tell You — let me show You
Let it cost me everything — I'll show You

[Outro]
Show me
Let it cost me
Show me
Let it cost me everything
