Treasures On The Other Side.

Trish...this is Timmy, (so you don't have to read to the bottom before you know who it is. :) I believe that line is in a verse to this song. I googled it and found this but I do not think it is the complete version as we sang with Mom, growing up. I will keep looking, but here is this much of it.

TREASURES ON THE OTHER SIDE
This is the first two lines we used to sing as I remember it, in parenthesis!
Who knows, that might be Mom's personal addition to the song. But then, my memory sure isn't what it used to be...Love you guys, Timmy

(I'm going on a journey with the lord right
by my side.
I know that he'll be with me, and it's there I will abide.)

This is the copywrited version that I found..

1. I am but a pilgrim stranger as I travel here below,
A citizen of Heaven, I am happy as I go;
The world may think me poor and pass me by with scornful pride,
But they don't know I've treasures on the other side.

Chorus:
On the other side, treasures there have I,
Treasures that this world and all it's wealth could never buy;
So, when I reach that city, and the gates swing open wide,
I'll find my treasures waiting on the other side.

2. Some may have their houses, some their land and gold,
But in the Bank of Heaven, I have wealth that can’t be told.
The moth and rust cannot decay and thieves can ne’er abide,
My treasures are all safe upon the other side.

3. You ask me why I’m happy of things of which I boast,
I’ve said goodbye to all the world and things that charm me most;
I’ve had a vision of my Lord, who for me bled and died,
He’s the greatest treasure on the other side!Top

Love and Prayers, Timmy, Cindy and Justin
