More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Let sorrow do its work, come grief or pain;
Sweet are Thy messengers, sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Then shall my latest breath whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
This still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

I have heard this song often, but never really looked at the words until now. It is a very fitting description of the road we are walking! Not wanting what the world offers, enduring pain and difficult struggles, and being able to Praise God through and because of it! It has certainly been an amazing journey. I am excited for the continued changes God does in me and us. What a priviledge to walk this road with you-there is no one I could respect or love more.
*smooch*
That was nice.
Isn’t that really what we shulod focus on? Just loving them and letting them know that they are worthy people. And all the other falls into place.
