Irretrievably Yours — A Reflection on Matthew 6:19-21

“Store your treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume.”
These timeless words from Jesus inspired the song “Irretrievably Yours.”

The lyrics explore the contrast between earthly possessions and spiritual devotion. Each verse moves the listener from the material to the eternal — from riches that fade to love that endures. It reminds us that when our hearts are anchored in heaven, nothing on earth can steal our peace.

“And now You have stored my heart far above,
Where no thief can break in to find.”

This imagery reflects complete trust in divine purpose — a surrender not born of loss, but of gain. To be “irretrievably lost” in God’s love means to be forever secured within His care, beyond reach of decay, corruption, or fear.

The bridge reinforces this upward motion:

“No anchor left on earth remains,
No tether to return.”

It captures the release from worldly attachment — a quiet ascension into the light of spiritual understanding.

“Irretrievably Yours” is, therefore, not only a song of worship but a meditation on where true value lies.
For as Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Store your treasures in heaven
Where moth nor rust consume
Crave not the fleeting riches
Lest the Spirit’s fruit cease bloom

[Verse 2]
I gave You my heart, my breath, my flame
My thoughts, my voice, my name
Even the last walls of defense —
I surrendered without shame

[Chorus]
And now You have stored my heart far above
Where no thief can break in to find
I’m irretrievably lost in Your seas of love
Bound in the vaults of the highest mind

[Bridge]
No anchor left on earth remains
No tether to return
Just light that burns in higher planes
Where greater fires burn

[Chorus]
And now You have stored my heart far above
Where no thief can break in to find
I’m irretrievably lost in Your seas of love
Bound in the vaults of the highest mind
