MB-chap2-Hunger & Thirst-#8

The heart that has once tasted the love of Christ, cries out continually for a deeper draft, and as you impart you will receive in richer and more abundant measure. Every revelation of God to the soul increases the capacity to know and to love. The continual cry of the heart is, "More of Thee," and ever the Spirit’s answer is, "Much more." Romans 5:9,10.MB 21

More About Jesus
Eliza Hewitt

More about Jesus I would know,
More of His Grace to others show,
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Chorus:
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus let me learn;
More of His holy will discern,
Spirit of God my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.
Chorus

More about Jesus in His word,
Holding communion with my Lord,
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
Chorus

More about Jesus, on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom's sure increase,
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.
Chorus

This song says it all.
Papa Father,
Thank you for giving some of Your children the eloquence to put into poetry, music, writing or speaking the things that the rest of us feel in our hearts but can't express. What a gift they have been through the ages.
