Would You Be a Jewel?

Representative Text

1 The Master is searching for jewels,
Tho’ in the rough they be;
And when He has found them and cleansed them,
All brilliant and pure they’ll be.

Chorus:
Would you be a jewel?
Would you a jewel be?
A gem to shine for Jesus wheresoe’er you be;
Would you be a jewel?
Would you a jewel be?
A jewel in the Savior’s crown thro’ eternity.

2 Now for thee He’s looking, O sinner,
Tho’ deep in sin and shame;
Yet He will remove ev’ry tarnish,
And give thee a new, new name. [Chorus]

3 ‘Tis only His blood can redeem thee,
Make thy heart white as snow,
All sparkling and shining for Jesus,
And radiant with love aglow. [Chorus]
