Love You More - Nichole Nordeman

You said «Go and sin no more»

Though my eyes could not meet Yours

I started running the third time the rooster crowed

You threw a party just for me

Though I squandered everything

I was blinded in the middle of the road

Climbed up in a tree to see You

Swallowed by the sea to flee You

Sold You for a little silver and a kiss

Killed a man to love his woman

Burned a bridge back to Your garden

Hung beside You while You took Your final breath

You’ve been loving me since time began

You’re behind my every second chance

I love You

I’m trying to

Love You more

And I’m ready

Please help me

Love You more

I keep thinking there’s a limit

Sure I must be getting near it

When I’ve used up every pardon and regret

But You promise there is freedom

Gathered up the broken pieces

Scattered them as far as East is from the West

You’ve been loving me since time began

You’re behind my every second chance

I love You

I’m trying to

Love You more

And I’m ready

Please help me

Love You more

With all the sand that fills the hourglass

With every breath between my first and last

I love You

I’m trying to

Love You more

And I’m ready

Please help me

Love You more
