Bruce Cockburn - All The Diamonds In The World Lyrics

the pearl in a sea of liquid jade is christ in mary's womb . the crystal swan in a sky of suns is christ second coming . powerful imagery .

the pearl of great price - salvation .

Thank you Bruce, Joni, Neil, Leonard....

One of the Best songs hardly anyone has ever heard of ...

Dear sweet Lindie, All the diamonds in the world, like you are to me. Shine brightest, in Hades seas. Like a ship, harboured in destiny. You are more, than that, to me. The reign, of a God, tears-up the sky,. for you, and I, to see. My Lindie, you are a diamond, shining on the crest of waves. You mean the world to me. Your Stevie

I want this sung at my funeral. It says it all. Thank you Bruce .

One of the most brilliant songwriter s of all time thank God he sent some gull chased ship called Bruce down to meet us in the harbour town...always a great honour and pleasure to listen to the beautiful words and songs of a very great man...thank you Bruce

One of the nicest songs I've ever heard. It changed my entire view on music when I heard it played live by a very talented young guy leading our canoe trip down the French river. Wheat Kings by the Hip is equally used to transport yourself back to wear that music was shared to my friends on Lake of Bays on a pitch black night. Only the stars illuminated the sky and after 1am the northern lights started dancing for us almost on cue .... High gear...please try and find a studio recording of Bob Dylan "everything is broken and ring them bells." Not available on UTube. Everything is broken on the album produced by our incredibly talented music producer/ mr music Daniel Langois. Excuse my poor spelling. Album is called " Oh Mercy."

Love Bruce Cockburn!

Nice! Thank you!

All of the diamonds in this world were conjured up by the poor and calluses hands. It is the man with calluses hands who can see the truth.

It's a beautiful song about Jesus Christ. Thanks Bruce.

"Wouldn't That Be Freaky?" by Jonathan Tad Ketchen​ (@NudistPoet & http://JTK.CA)

I was just listening to my 319 Favourite Tracks playlist by SEVERAL DIFFERENT artists on my iTunes in RANDOM order. As "After the Rain" by Bruce Cockburn​ was fading out, I said to myself, "Wouldn't it be freaky, if the next RANDOM track by SEVERAL DIFFERENT artists were 'All the Diamonds in the World' by Bruce Cockburn?" And that is exactly what happened! And I'm like, "No freakin' way!"

Today and also for everything since 2009.

Hard to pick a best of BC

Beautiful song and video. Thanks.

hey Jonathan Krieg???? Regarding your comment... "peace, love, joy, thankfulness and BTY, your video sucks".  I think you missed the point.  On another note, I just read Bruce's new book. What an incredible journey.  Thanks Bruce for your music, your openness and honesty.  And thanks cheezyfries113 for your video! 

I wasn't even aware he wrote a book. Did he mention his faith? I realize you left this comment 4 years ago but hopefully the tentacle of the cabal wrapped around youtube hasn't caused you to join the exodus yet.

Great song but what a pathetic slideshow :'(

Love this song so much. Great images.

i love this tune...thanks dude

good song, its interesting how I found this song I recently watched all the episodes of Joan of Arcadia and I loved the show and theme song. So I looked up songs similar to it and this is one of them. It is amazing how many shows guide people to songs they may have not otherwise heard

perfection!

+Cheryl Russell beautiful words lovely song

Thank-you for creating this*

My favorite Bruce Cockburn song, nice, nice, very nice, ya.

Tous les diamants du monde sont issus du sortilège du reflet du soleil sur l'eau de mer...Après cela cherchez quel est le sens de la richesse....

This video was made as a school project by some Canadian kid over a couple of year's ago..I remember this well. I am so amazed that this video has so many hit's on it. Pleased as well. It fit's this song so well. I hope he/she got an excellent grade or won the prize. In fact I believe it did!

so beautiful, Bruce Cockburn is such a poet

What beautiful work you have done with this video. This is one of my favorite songs in the world, and you actually did it justice with your video. I'll bet that Bruce himself probably loves your video if he's gotten to see it.

I'm learning this song at school. I love it so much! We learn all these sad songs, but I like them ^.^

He wrote this when he was in "Stockholms skärgård", as we call it in Sweden. I grew up there, hehe.

In my top 3 Bruce songs!!

Mr. Dan Sherman brought him to my hight school class in 1968. He's a brilliant and talented poet/songwriter who infuses his music with spirituality that carries one away. Wish I Had A Rocket Launcher expresses righteous anger. Very relatable artiste!!!!

Thank God he sent this song

@Hingaroo Your point is? Hey, I just gave you a compliment. How gives a crap WHEN it was? WoW! Um, Have a nice day?

Great Video! Great song! Hope you got an A on this project. If not, ya get one from me. Fantastic, thanks for posting. Joe.

@hmberter friggin rights

Gives me chills.

what a wonderful video you made of such an incredible song.

I just got home from seeing him in Ottawa. What a wonderful evening! I'm undone... it was beautiful, inspiring, age has not diminished him in any way.

what a lovley song to start the day with...and an absolutley stunning viideo.
Another great Canadian talent.

always liked this song

@Ottawarocket Aww, baby, I'm just a diamond in the rough... You make me shine with all your love!!

Great Cockburn song , My Lady is all the Diamonds in the world to me

that was a lovely way to start the morning, thanks great video

Great music from the days in which Bruce produced a lot of Christian music. This one really builds up my faith.

At what point did his music become less Christian ?

@Francis Madigan
Hey Francis, I don't have a clear answer for that. What I *did* notice was that in the early '80s his music became more political with less of a Christian interpretation as far as I noticed.
Also he moved and began living in sin, so I gather. My *IMPRESSION* was that his more orthodox Christian faith was not as important as it had been in the '70s. But I could be wrong. I was wrong one other time ... around about 1963 or so. ;)

it was a school project

A great video to a great song, thanks for making this.

ya .

first comment yay. 10 points for me. good video.
