Diamond in My Pocket

Well I've been chasing rainbows, almost half my life.
Looking for that pot of gold, it seemed I'd never find.
Every time I'd stumble out, He'd always get me back.
I had a diamond in my pocket, looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chorus:

Well this diamond in my pocket, it was Jesus in my heart.
He picked up the pieces when it finally came apart.
You see Jesus is the answer, I ain't never going back,
To a diamond in my pocket, looking for a needle in a haystack.

 
Well I searched for fame and fortune and I found myself on drugs.
Pockets full of money, but it never was enough,
Then I headed on down to Nashville, I hit the bottom of the glass, 
I had a diamond in my pocket, looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chorus:

Well this diamond in my pocket, it was Jesus in my heart.
He picked up the pieces when it finally came apart.
You see Jesus is the answer, I ain't never going back,
To a diamond in my pocket, looking for a needle in a haystack.

Bridge

Now I'm living here on the gospel road, singing to all the saints,
When the Roll is Called up Yonder, and old Amazing Grace.
You see Jesus is the answer, you don't have to look that far,
Put a Bible in your pocket and put Jesus in your heart.​
