I Need Jesus More and More

I Need Jesus More and More!

It seems like the older I am, 
with each passing day.
There’s someone I know 
who passes away.

I remember as a child, 40 seemed to be old.
Now, it seems quite young.  
as I’ve been told.

This life I have is wonderful and God given.
He wants me to live for him,
each day I’m livin.

The older I am, the more that I begin to see…
I need much more of Jesus, and  less of me!

Whatever path in life that I might choose…
Without Jesus in control, I’m going to lose!

He’s the one I need to take control...
His word brings nourishment to my soul!

His word and commandments
 need to be obeyed.
There’s nothing for HIS LOVE 
I would trade!

I thank you my lord, for the life I received.
An eternal life with you, 
I want to achieve!

The older I am, the closer I get 
to my mansion above
God’s blessed me and 
given me eternal love!

One more day with Jesus 
is sweeter than before!
No matter my age, I need him MORE!

He is and will always be with me 
till the end of time.
I’m glad I’m his and he’s MINE!
