Once Is Not Enough

Little by little, a moment at a time That's how my Lord sees me through. Once I had wanted Him all at once, To have Him do all He can do. I thought if He'd give me His blessing I would not need to be in prayer. The world would be my playground, Everything all sweet and lovely and fair. Yet I need Him every hour now, Seek His presence every moment more. Once is not enough, I love Him yet For every moment to know Him better than before. Once is not enough to meet Him. Once is not enough to love Him. Once is not enough to know His presence. Once is not enough to know my Lord. He is so precious to my very being That I seek Him like the sunlight, Searching for a reason, an excuse That I might glory in the warmth of His delight. There is something in the power of His presence Something in the knowing of His love, That lifts my heart to soar above the darkness That lifts my eyes to search for Him above. How I need Him every hour now, Seek His presence every moment more. Once is not enough, I love Him yet For every moment to know Him better than before. Once is not enough to meet Him. Once is not enough to love Him. Once is not enough to know His presence. Once is not enough to know my Lord.
