Mercifully More

"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.... He must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:16,30).

There is so much in that word "so"
That thus describes God's wondrous love
Which makes me want to further know
Still more of Christ who reigns above.

The Lord must increase; I must not,
That I may by His grace explore
His love by what He did and taught,
So I may know Him more and more.

O Lord, there's more that I would find,
But much of me stands in the way!
Increase Your presence in my mind,
My heart, my soul, and strength today!
