More Than Ever

More Than Ever - Gaither Vocal Band

When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust

I believed that the lord's way was best

I would read in his word how he mothered the bird

And grieve when it fell from it's nest

How I felt his delight when I chose to do right

And I prayed I would not make him sad

We would meet on the way in the cool of the day

What a pure sweet communion we had

Oh but now more than ever

I cherish the cross

More than ever I sit at his feet

All the miles of my journey have proved my lord true

And he is so precious to me

The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep

Through wild jagged places of life

Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard

That the stones cut my soul like a knife

But the staff of my shepherd would reach out for me

And lift me to cool pastures green

With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds

There I'd rest by the clear healing stream

Oh but now more than ever

I cherish the cross

More than ever I sit at his feet

All the miles of my journey have proved my lord true

And he is so precious to me

Is love's old sweet story too good to be true

Do you find all this hard to believe

Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart

That the hurt child inside you can't grieve

I can't say I blame you I've been where you are

But all I can say is it's true

You're wanted you're precious you're the love of his heart

And the old rugged cross was for you

Oh but now more than ever

I cherish the cross

More than ever I sit at his feet

All the miles of my journey have proved my lord true

And he is so precious to me

Oh but now more than ever

I cherish the cross

More than ever I sit at his feet

All the miles of my journey have proved my lord true

And he is so precious to me

Oh he is so precious to me

Yes he is so precious to me
