I'll Settle For More by Janet Martin © 2009 There's so much talk, it seems, these days 'Bout settling for less, It's time to change or find new ways, New roads to happiness, So people frown and people sigh As they contemplate What they must do to just 'get by', Or help their sorry state But I am not about to fold Nor do I feel inclined To settle for less as I get old So I've made up my mind Instead of less I'm having more! Now don't you judge my greed, But I'll 'set by' a little store To satisfy my need So Lord, I'm asking You today For just a little more, Increase my lot, Dear Lord I pray, Unlike You have before….. ….More love I need for fellow-men Who scorn me to my face, More compassion Lord, and then More humbleness and grace More faith when I can hardly see, More hope within my night, More trust that You are here with me Within my thickest fight More time to spend with You alone, More hunger for Your word, More letting of Your will be done Surrendering to You, Lord Less of me and more of Thee, Hear me Oh Lord, I pray, Help me desire Lord, to be More like You each day, More gentle, meeker, kinder too, More ready to obey, More and more and more like You, This is my need today |
