Peculiar Treasure

I found a stone out in the yard today

Covered in the dust and the common gray

It looks like nothing to the passing eye

Just a little piece of Earth left to lie

But I've got a cloth and a little bit of time

To see what's waiting underneath the grime

You are my peculiar treasure

My dearest prize, my own

Not a contract for a season

But a love that's carved in stone

You don't have to earn the circle

Or prove that you belong

You're the segullah

I've claimed The heart inside the song

They used to say peculiar meant strange

But the language of the Spirit doesn't change

It means I've claimed you as my very own

A royal priesthood on a quiet throne

I'm not a boss waiting for you to fail

I'm the hand that's lifting up the veil

Vigorously cleaning till the silver shows

The more I love you, the more it glows

You're not a project, you're a prize

I see the treasure in your eyes

I'm going to help you shine

I'm going to make you mine

You are my peculiar treasure

My dearest prize, my own

Not a contract for a season

But a love that's carved in stone

You don't have to earn the circle

Or prove that you belong

You're the segullah

I've claimed the heart inside the song

Not weird, just wanted

Not strange, just claimed

A private treasure

By His love, you're named
