Re: VOT MORE THAN ANYTHING (I want Jesus in my life)

MORE THAN ANYTHING *lyrics below* (I want Jesus in my life)

I learned this song in the early 80's. Guess that makes it kind of vintage like its singer. It's message is not vintage, though. It's message is relevant today as much as ever.

I want Jesus in my life
More than anything this world can offer me
For I know that He alone can satisfy
Just to know His leading in my life
Is worth everything that I might sacrifice
So I want Jesus more than anything

Take the things that I might want
And all the things that men hold dear
I'd rather have Him than any praise
That man may give me
I want Him to have control
And be the breath of life in me
I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather have Him than anything

He has power without end
From the heavens He rules the universe
Countless angels wait on His every call
But one day He walked all alone
On a road to death and untold agony
And just for me He suffered
What a price He paid

As I go on in life with Him
There can be no other way
I want Jesus more than anything

I remember when I first came across this song. I heard it on a music tape that was just music. I had never heard the song or anything about it. I was in my truck and I put the disk in. When that song came on, just the music of that song was so anointed that I found myself weeping before the Lord! I went back to the music store and said, "I have to have the words of that song!" They didn't have it but I was able to get it. It has meant "more than anything" to me since then!

@ray30121 Thank you so much for sharing. That's how this song took me the first time I heard it, too. It was several hundred views before anyone ever commented. I thought I was the only one in the world who knew the song!

Good job. I remenber this song from church when I was younger. And I agree it is still a good song with a great message.

I don't know why people don't comment sometimes. I have seen bunches of views on great videos and no comments. I guess they are just in a hurry.

Your video is great!~~

Hugs, Joan
