Dear Grandkids,
I think you already know this but one of the ways that I have found to express myself to God over the years has been through poetry and songs. Every now and then I come across a phrase in Scripture that captures my attention and I will often ponder the implications of that phrase by writing a song. Or at least the words of a song. Someone much more musically inclined that I will have to write the music. I am just a lyricist. Perhaps it is one of you that will one day put my lyrics to music. That would be pretty cool.
Anyway, I came across Luke 12:24 one day… “Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds.” The phrase “how much more” caught my attention and I turned it into a song. So here it is – for you to begin thinking what the music behind the words should be.
HOW MUCH MORE
How much more could Christ have done than what He did so long ago?
And yet today He fills my heart with joy that overflows.How much more could He have done than when He set this captive free?
And yet today I taste the fruit of His awesome victory.How much more could He have done that when He rescued me from sin?
And yet today He gives me hope and helps me find my strength in Him.How much more could He have done than save my soul eternally?
And yet I find that in this world I live with joy and power and peace.How much more, O how much more could He do in you and I
If Christ alone became the greatest treasure in our lives.
How much more, O how much more could He really do in us
If our hearts could fully grasp the mighty power of His love. (Refrain)How much more could He have done than break the chains of doubt and fear?
And yet today when I despair I find that He is always near.How much more could He have done than to create new life in me?
And yet He fills my soul with songs that I cannot help but sing.How much more could He have done than make things right with God again?
And yet today He walks with me as if I am His greatest friend.How much more could He have done than prove His love at Calvary?
And yet today I am reminded of His faithful love for me.How much more, O how much more could He do in you and I
If Christ alone became the greatest treasure in our lives.
How much more, O how much more could He really do in us
If our hearts could fully grasp the mighty power of His love.
Never forget that you are very loved!
