The More I Learn About Jesus
The more I learn about Jesus,
The more I know He loves me;
His love is greater and stronger
Than human love can be.
The more I live in His presence,
The more His trueness appears,
The more I’m learning to trust Him,
Through all the changing years.
I long for greater compassion,
I would more sympathy show,
And be more tender and holy,
More of His fullness know.
I would be gentle and lowly,
Display His love so divine,
And have submission and meekness,
And more of His life in mine.
The more with Him in communion,
The nearer heaven I rise;
And sweeter far is our union
Than any human ties.
I thirst for more of His Spirit,
His will to work in my soul:
I want to be in His image,
While ceaseless ages roll.
