More...

Today I will not be content

Today I want more, more, more

More awareness of His love for me

That too often I blindly ignore

Today I will not be satisfied

Today I desire to know

More, more fully His plan for me

And where He would choose me to go

Today I want more, more hunger

For things not of flesh, but of Him

More gentle loving kindness

Before this day-moment grows dim

Today I refuse to be content

But I will not lust after things

I want more of what earth can’t afford

But knowing Him more fully brings

Today Lord, give me holy hunger

Oh my God, I beg and implore

For more compassion for my fellow-man

Oh God, give me more, more, more
