I Want to Love You More
Michelle Tordoff
Help me love you more than my pillow Lord
To rise and praise you in the morn
Help me love you more than the food I eat
To fast and pray, on your Word to feast
I want to love you more
You are worthy of all and what am I?
In light of You
It’s a small thing to give my life.
Let me not be captivated by the world.
Over uneternal things, may I choose Your ways
Let my recreation be pleasing to You
And not the focus of my days.
I want to love you more
You are worthy of all and what am I?
In light of You
It’s a small thing to give my life.
I want to love you more and myself less
Look towards You for whom I should bless.
To thank You when praises come
And not believe that I’m really anyone.
I want to love you more
You are worthy of all and what am I?
In light of You
It’s a small thing to give my life.
Quote from "Stepping Heavenward" by Mrs. E. Prentiss
"She says I shall now have one mouth more to fill and two feet the more to shoe, more disturbed nights, more laborious days, and less leisure or visiting, reading, music and drawing.
Well! This is one side of the story, to be sure, but I look at the other.
Here is a sweet, fragrant mouth to kiss; here are two more feet to make music with their pattering about my nursery. Here is a soul to train for God; and the body in which dwells is worthy of all it will cost, since it is the abode of a kingly tenant. I may see less of friends, but I have gained one dearer than them all, to whom, while I minister in Christ's name, I make a willing sacrifice of what little leisure for my own recreation my other dear darlings had left me. Yes, my precious baby, you are welcome to her time, her strength, her health, her tenderest cares, to her lifelong prayers! Oh, how rich I am, how truly, wondrously blest!"
