More of Thee my heart to sing
Less of me you’re everything…
Lifted High for all to see
Jesus, Son of the morning…
More to tell of who you are
More abundant than the stars
More is More O Gentle Lord…
More courageous, to adore…
More than cups, running over with grace
More of your love, poured from your face
More of Thee, my heart to embrace
More, more of Thee…
More fragrant than the oil that burns
All the dross of sin stained turns
My life in full surrender yearns…
As Living water flows
To all of those
Whose hearts in whom you call…
More than conquerors
More…
Connected to the Living Vine
Pruned and watered shaped divine
Abiding in you and you in me
More, more of Thee!

The Vine and the Branches
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper. Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. John 15:1-2 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Psalm 23:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
I read that there is a Jewish custom that when a guest comes to visit they will fill the guests cup until it overflows, meaning that they may stay as long as they like. I thought how awesome is that….When we go into our Heavenly Father’s house He fills our cup to overflowing showing that we may stay as long as we like…I love that!!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
