Lyrics

Some people long for silver and gold.
Things they can touch,
Things they can hold.
But those earthly treasures
They're not meant to last.
That's why my joy rests in Jesus
While the years roll past.

Chorus
Diamonds may sparkle
And rubies may shine.
But they can't compare
to this Savior of mine.
Our time here is fleeting
And the days go by so fast.
That's why my joy rests in Jesus
While the years roll past.

2nd verse
Sometimes we struggle
To find peace of mind.
Look in all the wrong places
Follow all the wrong signs.
God holds the answer
If only we'll ask.
Yes my joy rests in Jesus
As the years roll past .

Repeat chorus
