Revisiting

Writing has been a difficult thing for me lately. The words haven't come fresh and they've been hard to articulate. Yet, my mind and heart have been filled with words I have written previously and now am coming back to meditate upon. Most of them have been in recent years, but tonight, I found this song I wrote five and a half years ago. Five and a half years ago. That is hard for me to believe that it could've been that long ago. I feel very young at times and much older in others. This August marks eleven years of following the Lord. Looking back on the scope of it humbles me incredibly...the Lord has been so gracious. And tonight, these words of five and a half years ago are the ones that He is bringing me back to remember.

Yet I Only Want More
November 6, 2005

I’m in a place I never thought I’d be
In a place so wonderful but not satisfying
For it is there I taste and see that You are good
You are above all things and Your grace is sufficient for me
And it leaves me longing for ever, oh, so much more
So much more than I can see, cause at your feet I see Your treasure store
And it leaves me with a craving like never before

Chorus
You are more than enough
Yet I only want more
I’ve been captivated by Your touch
Now I know the abundant love you pour
You’re unveiling my eyes to Your beauty like never before
I won’t be satisfied, no never will I cease
To seek Your face all of my days until I come before You at Your feet
Because You are more than everything to me
Yet I only want more

Speak to my heart in the ways you did to the people of old
Raise me up like the ones who did amazing things for You, Lord
I know there’s so much more
I want to see Your glory radiating through the pain of this world
Through the broken hearts on the ground, those blind to Your love
Because I know there’s so much more
So much more than they can see, so much more than I could ever know
And so I will not be satisfied, no never will I be
Satisfied with where I am because there’s so much more You have for me
