More - Poem

When we realize who God has made us to be and align with His plans and purposes for our lives, we will begin to actually experience the “more” we were made for. We will live in the joy of looking beyond ourselves and discover the beauty of serving others. We will live the abundant life Jesus died to give us when we lay down our entire life to follow Him. When we choose to give our whole lives over to Him, we will actually understand more than ever what it means to live.

What if I told you
that you were made for more
And that love is really an open door
It sinks deep into your core

More.
See, you were called to live a life
A life, empty of yourself
But full of someone else

Freedom, in giving it all away
You say?
Yes.
A life, where you die to live

So you willingly give
You give it all
An answer to His call
Y’all, He paid it all!

He bled for you
Oh, His love ran red for you
Yes, His own blood shed for you
But, oh no, we’re not done

See the battle’s already been won
You can’t defeat the Son
Cause on the third day
He ran out of the grave

Mighty to save!
Yes, He’s alive!
With grace in His eyes
He took Hell by surprise

Putting an end to His own demise
And bringing truth to all the lies
Oh, believe it it’s true
His suffering was worth you

So no longer do you have to cry boo-hoo
Because the King really loves you!
I know, it’s super exciting
He’s so warm and inviting

Even though we’re all so broken
His heart’s still wide open!
He’s the strength in our weakness
Turning pride into meekness

Oh, you really gotta see this!
Making beauty from our ashes
Cause when He took those lashes
He was filling all our gashes

What a blessed Lord
Laying down His life
On His own accord
Oh, you couldn’t ask for more!

He gave it all
So let’s give it all
Because only empty cups can be filled
And dry ground be chilled

Yes, dying is living
And empty is full
He alone can patch that hole in your soul
You are precious in His sight

Clothed in robes of white
His heart is filled with such delight
So come on out and see this light!
Cause our God gives life to the dead

And turns to joy all our dread
Don’t you forget what He said!
You are called
And you are chosen

How He loves to fix what’s broken
Beloved by the King
He makes your heart wanna sing
Bedazzling you with such bling

Don’t forget the wedding ring
His faithfulness to the skies
With such love in His eyes
He’s ready to give you your prize

Even though He’s the one
We all once despised
Oh, this is true
He wrote about you

Your life is His story
Filled with great glory
Paper and pen
Before you could even count to ten

He formed you in your mother’s womb
Was thinking of you in His tomb
And pours His heart out in your gloom
You are His child

So let your heart run wild
Because He knew you before
And He opened that door

Showering you in grace galore
Yes, you were made for MORE!
