More Than Ever
When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust
I believed that the Lord's way was best
I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird
And grieved when it fell from its nest
How I felt His delight when I chose to do right
And I prayed I would not make Him sad
We would meet on the way in the cool of the day
What a pure sweet communion we had
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep
Through wild jagged places of life
Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard
That the stones cut my soul like a knife
But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me
And lift me to cool pastures green
With oil of the spirit, anointing my wounds
There I'd rest by the clear healing stream
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Is Love's Old Sweet Story too good to be true?
Do you find all this hard to believe?
Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart
That the hurt child inside you can't grieve?
I can't say I blame you, I've been where you are
But all I can say is, "It's true!"
You're wanted, you're precious
You're the love of His heart
And the old rugged cross was for you
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Oh, He is so precious to me
Yes, He is so precious to me
I believed that the Lord's way was best
I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird
And grieved when it fell from its nest
How I felt His delight when I chose to do right
And I prayed I would not make Him sad
We would meet on the way in the cool of the day
What a pure sweet communion we had
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep
Through wild jagged places of life
Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard
That the stones cut my soul like a knife
But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me
And lift me to cool pastures green
With oil of the spirit, anointing my wounds
There I'd rest by the clear healing stream
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Is Love's Old Sweet Story too good to be true?
Do you find all this hard to believe?
Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart
That the hurt child inside you can't grieve?
I can't say I blame you, I've been where you are
But all I can say is, "It's true!"
You're wanted, you're precious
You're the love of His heart
And the old rugged cross was for you
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross
More than ever, I sit at His feet
All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true
And He is so precious to me
Oh, He is so precious to me
Yes, He is so precious to me
