| MORE THAN THIS ? As I went about the business Of earning my salvation In the usual most businesslike way, Every now and then I'd get So aggravated and upset At situations that I'd fix that wouldn't stay. But, of all the most disturbing things To happen always happened to me Every time I started out to pray. For, I'd see my Saviour's sword-pierced side And nail-scarred hands and crown of thorns, And then I'd hear my Saviour gently say, More than this? More than this? Are you saying there is more I could have done for you? Tell me how... Tell me now... If you're saying there is more I could have done. As I gradually began to Let go of the ideas that I had On what it took to be a better man, I began to really see What God intended, in His wisdom, He brought forth, in His love, the Master plan. For, when I would start to pray And see my Saviour's bleeding scars and wounds, The sight of them would take my faith to task. And, I'd know what He was saying As I knelt there, weeping praying. Yes, I knew what He was saying when He'd ask, More than this? More than this? Are you saying there is more I could have done for you? Tell me how... Tell me now... If you're saying there is more I could have done. Marjorie K. Bell |
