More Than Words

Lord, I don't know what to say

As I get down on my knees to pray

The same old phrases come to mind

But you've heard them all a thousand times

It's not that it's untrue when I say "Lord, I love you"

It's just that I want it to be more

More than words

(More than words oh Lord)

I want my prayer to be more than words

(More than words)

Thoughts my heart alone can speak

As you listen to me tell

Of all your power and mercy

Lord you know it's my desire

What you hear is more than words

As I open up this book

And read of all the love it took

For a Holy God to care for man

Oh spirit help me understand

It's not that it's unclear, it's a letter to children

But Lord I know it's meant to be much more

More than words

(More than words oh Lord)

Not just letters on the page more than words

(More than words)

For every line and every phrase

Was a breath of inspiration

From a caring father

(Caring father)

Who gave the gift of his son

To prove he loved us more than words

More than words

More than words

As I consider quietly

The wonder of all your ability

It's more than I can comprehend

And I find myself in need again

But if I had every word and a thousand years to use them

What you are to me would still be more, oh so much more

More than words

More than words, more than words, more than words

What you are to me is more than words

And I love you more than words can say
