Story Behind The Song
At first this song was just "part 2". When I got ready to record it, I wanted to expand the song, and part one was born. I am so glad God gave me the first part of the song. I call it my response to the current economic crisis. What good will worrying do? I choose to put my trust in Jesus.
Song Description
Based on Matthew 26:25-34, this song teaches kids to be like the lilies of the field and the birds of the air, not worrying about "stuff", but putting trust in God, and making Jesus their Treasure with a capital T.

Lyrics
I'm a little lily of the soil.
I don't spin, and I don't toil
God is taking such good care of me.
I never ever ever have to worry.
CHORUS: God's my treasure, yes-sir-ee.
Treasure with a Capital T!
I'm a little birdie flying free.
I don't sow and I don't reap.
God is taking such good care of me.
I never ever ever have to worry. (SING CHORUS)
A child has more value than a bird.
That's the Bible wisdom that we've heard.
I don't have to worry 'bout my stuff.
I put my trust in Jesus, and God's enough.
BRIDGE: Thieves and rust and moths destroy
Clothes and cars and precious toys.
But if my treasure's stored above,
There's not a thing to be afraid of! (SING CHORUS)
T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E!
ENDING: Lord, You're my treasure, with a Capital T
I get my pleasure, from serving, you see
I just can't measure how much You love me
So I'll dig real deep
And find my treasure in You! (sing 3 times)
