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.

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by H. T. Burleigh and David Neff. Easter,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual,Traditional. Score. 4 pages. David Neff #809155. Published by David Neff (A0.1211548).

Weepin' Mary is a traditional spiritual for the Easter season. It is not, however, jubilant and flashy. Rather it dwells on the comfort that the risen Christ can bring to those who mourn. This is an expansion and elaboration of H. T. Burleigh's 1917 arrangement, with a new second verse with fresh melodic alterations and a new piano accompaniment and piano bridge. The added length (total running time just under 3-1/2 minutes) makes it more usable in church and in recitals. This version is in C minor, more accessible to many singers than Burleigh's original in F minor.
