A beautiful song about coming to the Savior with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Kathryn W. Hales.

Text:
I went in the Gold Rush like many a man,
To search for some nuggets or a flash in the pan.
But few were the findings from a grand mother lode,
I went for the Gold Rush, but I didn’t find gold.

I found what was there, growing right from the ground,
The flora and fauna, with trees that abound.
I found the beauty of nature’s own place,
I found the beauty shown by God’s grace.

Like those in the Gold Rush, I’ve oft followed man,
To search for the shiny, a flash in the pan,
But the glamour soon ended when the glitzy wore thin,
I went for the sparkly but found grace for my sins.

The world cannot offer the true value of souls,
For they are more precious than nuggets of gold.
I found true wealth, not deep in a mine,
But in the pierced hands of a Savior divine.

I might lose my way, when guided by man,
So, look to the heavens and follow God’s plan.
The glitter of Fool’s Gold has many deceived__
A glimmer of hope, then deep tears of grief.

I’ll look for the riches only He can bestow,
I’ll avoid that ol’ Gold Rush but seek for true gold.
By seeking a life, eternal and pure,
Seeking for Jesus, who gives gold that endures.

Either way, look for a special blessing for yourself or gift it to someone, each time you sing it.  Sink into its sense of safety, comfort, peace, and joy, and feel at home wherever you are, whenever you sing or listen to this song. Let's blanket our entire Mother Earth with peace and plenty, safety, love, warmth, and healing for a maxed-out planet and a maxed-out people with this gifted song.  Remember to envision et al blanketing Mother Earth, all the people, flora and fauna, in a warm fuzzy blanket of love, peace, and healing every time.  

In performance practice sessions, take a selfie or groupie before, notice your state, and your aura if you see them, and again after your practice session, just for grins.  Notice what you notice, and see as well as feel the difference.  Post your extraordinary results to FB & YT.  It isn't just music anymore, Toto.

Historical content?  Actually written in 1984 in Maumee, OH, this song was officially copyrighted in 1986.  1987 Gregor was whisked out of state to a new locale where attendance to making a living else wise became the mode o' day like most compose/lyricists.  Mark, one of the most gifted jazz artists on the planet, continued his dailies teaching, gigging, and studio work.  Many beautiful songs fell through the cracks while Gregor, and equally gifted composer~lyri.
