Ooooooooh
Verse 1
I found a treasure
There's nothing like it in this world
There's nothing greater
It's all I'll ever need and more
Verse 2
I found a treasure
Endless joy and perfect peace
Sent down from Heaven
Now made alive inside of me
Chorus
God is good, and He's good to me
He's all I want and He's all I need
So I will follow where He leads
Verse 3
There's no one higher
There's nothing better in this life
Our one true desire
Only Jesus satisfies

God is good, and He's good to me
He's all I want and He's all I need

Meaning & Inspiration
I Found A Treasure sings of Jesus as the greatest treasure. The verses say the treasure has no equal in the world, brings endless joy and perfect peace sent from heaven, and makes the singer alive inside. The third verse adds that there is no one higher and nothing better, and that only Jesus satisfies the one true desire. The chorus states that God is good to the singer, all that is wanted and all that is needed, so the singer will follow where He leads.
The treasure image draws on Matthew 13:44 and Philippians 3:8, while the satisfaction in Jesus fits Psalm 73:25-26 and John 6:35, and the call to follow echoes John 10:27. Short phrases, repeated tags and a steady refrain make it easy to sing as a declaration of contentment in Christ.
