Diamonds are not found on the surface
But deep down where the pressure is great
And the most wondrous pearl in an oyster
Where sharp grit for years did irritate.
When in my life I have troubles and trials
When my suffering is hard to bear
Through every circumstance and situation
God is forming me, a jewel costly and rare.
For all God’s children will one day be part
Of the beautiful crown of the King
And like the stars of the morning shining
As bright gems will being glory to Him.
