lyrics
Something through the fog at first I can’t make out
Truth emergin’ from a mist of doubt
His banner over me starting to unfurl
Gonna sell the farm so I can buy the pearl
Turn to gold, turn to gold
Watchin’ this dirt turnin’ into gold
Turn to gold, turn to gold
In this Kingdom whose builder is the Lord
There is no illusion of some alchemy
Refiner’s fire purifying me
Everlasting, luminous
We’re in Him and He’s in us
Turn to gold, turn to gold
Watchin’ this dirt turnin’ into gold
Turn to gold, turn to gold
In this Kingdom whose builder is the Lord
Once a wilderness of scattered dried up bones
Rising up, find my life in Him alone
Like a tiny seed becomes a mighty tree
Secrets of the Kingdom come to life in me
Turn to gold, turn to gold
Watchin’ this dirt turnin’ into gold
Turn to gold, turn to gold
In this Kingdom whose builder is the Lord
Treasure is found in the humble part
The cry for home, “Love each other from the heart”
Anthem ringing, like a full-force gale
He is risen! He has rent the veil!
Turn to gold, turn to gold
Watchin’ this dirt turnin’ into gold
Turn to gold, turn to gold
In this Kingdom whose builder is the Lord
