More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek, give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Let sorrow do its work, send grief and pain
Sweet are thy messengers, sweet their refrain
When they can sing with me,
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Then shall my every breath sing out Your praise;
This be the only song my heart shall raise;
This still my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!

The music itself is winsomely unique, but the community that was brought together by and gathered around Michael Anderson was just as winsome. It's more than a cycle of songs, it's communal. Grace Worship
