Jesus Gives More Than I Can Ask
More than I want,
Lord, to me You give.
Sweeter than I imagine
Is life in You to live.
More than I wish,
More than I desire,
More than I long for
Is Your burning fire.
More than I dream,
More than I pray,
More than I envision
Is Your perfect Way.
Yes, glory of glories,
Delight of delights,
Is Your love teeming
Through days and nights.
It embraces and comforts,
Uplifts and transforms.
It inspires and beautifies,
Brightens and warms.
It caresses my skin
In the light summer breeze.
It brings chills to my soul
As I pray on my knees.
It sings to my heart
In the psalms of the bird;
It renews my spirit
In the power of Your Word.
What dream can I dream
More lovely than Your love?
What can I desire more
Than Your gifts from Above?
Imagine my mind,
Desire my heart
No sweeter truth than
You and I shall never part.
More than I want,
Yes, my Jesus, You give.
Sweeter than I imagine
Is life in You to live.

Purposeful Pathway
But let all those that put
their trust in thee rejoice:
let them ever shout for joy,
because thou defendest them:
let them also that love
thy name be joyful in thee.
For thou, Lord,
wilt bless the righteous;
with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
Psalm 5:11-12 (KJV)
