WHEN I’M LOST in need of mercy
More of You, more of You
When I’ve wasted time You’ve given
More of You, more of You
And as this day will end
Let my praise extend…
When I’ve taken more than given
More of You, more of You
And when I leave before You’ve spoken
More of You, (Jesus) more of You
When I’ve wandered from Your presence
More of You, more of You
As I find my way to mercy
More of You, (Jesus) more of You
When I’m scared in need of clinging
More of you more of You
When I’m cold in need of holding
More of You, more of You
As I bring this life that’s broken
More of You, more of You
When I leave before You’ve spoken
More of You, (Jesus) more of You
Mark Tedder
