Story behind the song
This is a collaboration with Dave Berland. Dave heard our choir singing this song in Finnish and got an idea to sing and play with us. So he sings in the chorus in English with us, he plays the guitar and you can hear his humming in the verses. This is a real joy and privilege to us. The modern technology makes this kind of collaboration possible. Thank you, Dave, for your awesome part. This reminds me of Heaven - what a wonderful time we are going to have there with Jesus and each other!
Lyrics
MUN AARTEENI JEESUS ON
(Charles Hutchison Gabriel (1865-1932), public domain
suom. sanat: Lea Alaja (1998)
1. Mä odotan Jeesusta, Vapahtajaa,
mä ylistän Kristusta, Kuningasta.
Hän armoaan antaa ja mua rakastaa.
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on.
Kerto:
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on,
mun aarteeni Jeesus on.
Hän ilonsa tuo minun sydämeeni.
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on.
2. Kun aukaisin oven mun sydämeeni,
Hän hellästi astui mun elämääni
ja syntini kaikki mä sain anteeksi.
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on.
Kerto:
3. En pelkää nyt pahaa, en murheitakaan,
kun opin mä Jeesusta tuntemaan
ja katsella saan Hänen kirkkauttaan.
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on.
Kerto:
4. Pian saapuu tuo päivä niin ihmeellinen,
kun kasvoista kasvoihin näen Jeesuksen
ja ymmärrän suurimman rakkauden.
Mun aarteeni Jeesus on.

Translation from the Finnish words to English:
MY TREASURE IS JESUS
(Charles Hutchison Gabriel (1865-1932), public domain
Finnish words: Lea Alaja (1998)
1. I wait for Jesus, my Savior,
I praise Christ, the King,
He gives His mercy and loves me.
My treasure is Jesus.
Chorus:
My treasure is Jesus,
my treasure is Jesus.
He brings His joy to my heart.
My treasure is Jesus.
2. When I opened the door to my heart,
He gently came into my life
and forgave all my sins.
My treasure is Jesus.
Chorus:
3. I am not afraid of evil and sorrows,
when I get to know Jesus
and when I look at His glory.
My treasure is Jesus.
Chorus:
4. Soon will come that wonderful day,
when I can see Jesus from face to face
and understand the greatest love.
My treasure is Jesus.
Original English words:
1. So precious is Jesus, my Savior, my King;
His praise all the day long with rapture I sing;
To Him in my weakness for strength I can cling,
For He is so precious to me.
Chorus:
For He is so precious to me,
For He is so precious to me;
Tis heaven below, my Redeemer to know,
For He is so precious to me.
2. He stood at my heart's door 'mid sunshine and rain,
And patiently waited an entrance to gain;
What shame that so long He entreated in vain,
For He is so precious to me.
Chorus:
3. I stand on the mountain of blessing at last,
No cloud in the heavens a shadow to cast,
His smile is upon me; the valley is past,
For He is so precious to me.
Chorus:
4. I praise Him because He appointed a place
Where someday, through faith in His wonderful grace,
I know I shall see Him, shall look on His face,
For He is so precious to me.
Chorus:
