More About Jesus

The other day I was listening to a really amazing album. The band is crazy talented, lead vocal is so good! And the songs are all christian hits and sure to be worship standards... wait for it... But. 

It seemed that while the name of Jesus was sung... it could have been sung more. And so as I listened I got this buzz in my head and heart to write a song that said the name Jesus more times than any song I had heard in a while. 

In fact it make me think of an old hymn entitled "More About Jesus." And so below find my version of More About Jesus. 

If you are a musician and you hear a tune while you read the words... go for it! There is a tune "bumping like a fly on a window pain" in my head but I'm not ready to let it out.

And so in keeping with my #TwoOvrTen challenge. And instead of being too scared to share... here it is warts and all.


Scriptural Bases: 

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11 ESV)




Chorus
Jesus we lift your name
To heaven above
Jesus we will tell the world
Of your great love
Jesus we’ll  sing your praise
Till every knee bows down
Jesus we  lift your name
We come to bring you crowns

Verse
O Jesus more and more
We want to honor you
O Jesus more and more
To your word be true
O Jesus more and more
We want to live our lives
O Jesus more and more
Till the world sees You!

 Chorus

Verse
O Jesus we confess
That you are Lord
O Jesus we confess
That You’re our King
O Jesus we confess
We want your will be done
O Jesus we confess
And nothing less

Chorus

Bridge (old hymn version)
More More about Jesus
More More about Jesus
More of His saving fullness see
More of His love who died for me

Chorus
Jesus we want to lift your name
To heaven above
Jesus we want to tell the world
Of your great love
Jesus we want to sing your praise
Till every knee bows down
Jesus we want to lift your name
We want bring you crowns
