I don't know if there is more. This is all I could find.

You may look on my appearance and say that I'm poor
I must agree, I don't have much in this world
If you come a little closer and somehow look inside you would
see a hidden treasure that money can not buy
Oh and I've got joy in my heart, and I've got peace in my soul
treasure that can't be bought with silver or gold
In this life I have little. Oh but in Jesus I've everything
I'm as poor as a beggar, but I'm rich as a king

Thanks Sandra for resurfacing this from 2013

Since then I found several renditions posted on YouTube
Here’s one with that elusive 2nd verse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mckI8Xfl8

What good is gold and silver; It can’t buy you happiness
When you lay upon your pillow it can’t buy you peace and rest
As for me I’ll lay my treasure in that home beyond the sky
Where He’s building me a mansion that money can not buy
