Ever Praise Music

and the Joyful Harts Music Library​

More love to thee, O Christ, more love to thee! 
Hear thou the prayer I make on bended knee. 
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to thee; 
more love to thee, more love to thee! 

Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest; 
now thee alone I seek, give what is best. 
This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee; 
more love to thee, more love to thee! 

Let sorrow do its work, come grief and pain; 
sweet are thy messengers, sweet their refrain, 
when they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to thee; 
more love to thee, more love to thee!

Mark 12
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the sound file plays the first time, make remarks about the demands of our daily lives and the business of caring for our families, friends, and loved ones. Sometimes we have difficulty finding a peaceful time to meditate on the goodness of the Lord. It is important that we make the time. There will always be things to do. However, these tasks would all be a little easier if we remember to take the Lord with us into every circumstance, test, and trial. Give God the glory, the honor, and the praise at all times.
2. As the song plays the second time, read the scripture from the book of Mark 12:29-33, I John 3:18-24, and Deuteronomy 5:5-9.

Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
