A Taste of What's to Come -- The More

Three posts in one day -- isn't that a little excessive? It's my blog -- I'll do what I want. =) (The emoticon is from G.)

I mentioned in an earlier post that I've been listening to the song The More by Downhere. Steve gave me the CD as a "happy" (a gift for no reason), and it's been in my CD player all day.

Did you ever get stuck on a single song? I've been stuck on this one all day. As I look at the lyrics, I'm struck by several phrases, and I think at least five of them are going to become posts. I'm posting the lyrics tonight, as an introduction, and I'll start with the posts tomorrow. I've highlighted the phrases that caught my attention as a taste of what is to come.

The More

I met You like a little child
Wide-eyed and mystified
That You could love even me
So I'm here to testify
That it's been an amazing ride with You
And I have never walked alone
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
It's takes a lifetime to know You, to know You

And the more You show me, the more You grow me
The more Your glory becomes all there is
And the more I know You, the more I need You
The more I love You, the more You become to me

Fast-forward to the golden years
A smaller pride and a bigger fear
But still, no way are we done yet
I pray that You would keep me mystified,
In every way that I will still abide in You
Till You come to take me home
Wanna give You every moment, every minute
And take a lifetime to know You, to know You

Wanna give You every moment, every minute
I'll take a lifetime to know You
Hold me Lord, keep me
Draw me closer every moment of my life
