[verse]
0:11
I was born and raised in the Emerald Isle,
0:11
Surrounded by great shorelines, cliffs and beautiful skies.
0:18
I was a child who had great fears and tears in her eyes .
0:24
For in the natural I had no safe place to hide.
0:29
[chorus]
0:34
I was a genuine gem hidden from the world,
0:34
Awaiting for my true value and identity to someday unfold.
0:41
I was a genuine gem hidden in the sand,
0:47
But God knew that I was a precious stone;
0:53
And He branded me as His very own.
0:59
In Montserrat I was a genuine gem that was hidden in the sand,
3:15
But now I am a diamond,
3:24
That is shining brightly on the face of this land!
3:30
[verse]
3:42
Oh Montserrat, I will never forget about you,
3:42
In spite of the things that I have been through;
3:48
For out of the ashes of my past,
3:52
A new life has come.
3:59
And forever I am grateful to my Savior,
4:08
For the mighty things that He has done.
4:14
Yes Jesus Christ has set me free,
4:17
And I am now walking in total victory.
4:19
Thank you Lord!
