More

More than oxygen
I need Your love
More than life-giving food
The hungry dream of
More than an eloquent word
Depends on the tongue
More than a passionate song
Needs to be sung

More than a word
Could ever say
More than a song
Could ever convey
I need You more
Than all of these things
Father I need You more

More than magnet and steel
Are drawn to unite
More than poets' love words
To rhyme as they write
More than the comforting warmth
Of sun in the spring
More than the eagle loves wind
Under its wings

More than a blazing fire
On a cold winter's night
More than the tall evergreens
Reach for the light
More than the pounding waves
Long for the shore
More than these gifts You give
I love You more

I love You more than all of these things
Father I love You more

I love You
More than oxygen
More than magnet and steel
More than words
