With all the events of the last few months and another heavy burden added yesterday, this song by Kenneth Cope just keeps running through my mind. I sometimes wonder how much more I can deal with, yet how could I say no to any of it? The experience, the growth, the refiner's fire?More by Kenneth Cope
More steady, more sure
More trusted, more pure
Some say it doesn't matter
More trained and more aware
More aim to get me there
I climb this far
You raise the bar
You want my heart
CHORUS
More fierce desire
To stand against the wind
More blazing fire
When dark is closing in
More love-inspired change within
So there's more and more of me to give
More words to learn and know
More etched upon my soul
Some say it doesn't matter
More tried, more true
Less me, and much more You
I stretch this tall
You sound the call
You want my all.
CHORUS
You keep reaching out--You're calling out to me for
More strengthened shoulders
To face the war with sin
More wise and bolder
To save the souls of men
A more faithful soldier to the end
You want more and more of me to give
More and more of me to give
More love, more light,
More purpose, more serve with all my might,
I need more hope, more faith
More patience, each day I pray for more
More and more of me to give
More fire, more zeal
More spirit to know what's real
More courage, more joy
More, more and more of me to give
More grateful, more true
More humble to trust and do
You call, I hear
I'll walk the path that's set in stone
My heart is fixed on getting home
And what on earth could ever matter more?
More and more of me to give
More
I need to keep these words in my mind to remind myself that I'm trying to do more, to desire to do His will until mine matches His. What on earth could matter more?
Beautiful post. I hadn't heard that song before. Found it online - it's very pretty. Thank you for sharing those uplifting thoughts. :)
