Lyrics

PRECIOUS TO ME
© Deb Rempel 2004



Verse One
His child had made the paper boat.
It barely stood. Would never float.
He saw her small hand caref’ly drew
Scrawling lines of red and blue.
He reached and pulled it from the trash
And read the words, “A gift for Dad.”

Verse Two
He opened his costly display
Of ships and gently, proudly placed
The fragile gift she’d made inside.
When she saw, he heard her cry, 
“It’s just no good.” He shook his head, 
Held her close, and softly said, 

Chorus
Your gift is so precious to me.
When I look, here’s what I see –
Your love for me is shining through.
You gave the priceless gift of you.
Don’t be discouraged, just believe,
Your gift is so precious to me.

Verse Three 
Years had passed. She did her best
To serve the Lord but found no rest.
Felt all she did was not enough
But when she felt like giving up
She saw the boat there on display
And heard her Savior gently say:


Chorus

Bridge
Have you felt you can’t go on –
What you try just turns out wrong.
Don’t see your efforts with your eyes.
Just focus on your love for Christ,
For he says:

Chorus
