More (Spoken Word) Lyrics

So maybe the truth about thankfulness

Isn't that I don't have it

Could it be that I've just been way too distracted

To notice the closeness of God?

Well surprise, surprise

I've had everything I've needed this entire time

But living hopelessly depleted of the joy of life

Wanna know why?

Because it's so easy to get lost in anything other than the Father's eyes

From my social media feed, filling me up with all the "I think I needs"

And my tv screen, to these guitar strings

It seems that everything, even down to the air I breathe

Is toxically persuading me saying, "keep obsessing over lesser things"

God, my thankfulness gets out of focus so easily, and I

Know I keep piling these lists of things You should give to me, but

Every day, I'm reminded that the only way to live is to die to me

Your Word tells me I should strive to live quietly, but

Still I spend so much time asking You for so much more

But what even is "more," when You've already given me more than I could ever ask for?

I could waste my life

Waiting on something You've already put in my hands

Waiting to find the worth of who I am as a man

Misplaced in stuff I could earn on my own or somehow pay for

But You gave me something I can no longer ignore

Jesus, You've given me so much more

(You already gave me way more

Than I could ever dream of

When You gave me You

I'm thankful for You)
