Lord, You are more precious than silver

NS24
1
Lord, You are more precious than silver;
Lord, You are more costly than gold;
Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds;
And nothing I desire compares with You.
2
Lord, Your life is divine, eternal.
Lord, Your life regenerated me.
Lord, Your life is growing within me,
Until I am fully conformed to Thee.
3
Lord, Your love is wide as the ocean.
Lord, Your love is deep as the sea.
Lord, Your love encompasses the nations,
And that is all I want to live in me.
4
Lord, Your light is shining within us;
Lord, Your light drives darkness away.
Lord, Your light is guiding us onwards,
Preparing us for the coming wedding day.

Oh Lord, I can't believe that You love me.

How I wish to love You as much as You love me.

Oh Lord, I can not live without You.

Let me spent evey second with You, not seeing anyone else but You.

I don't want anything else beside You. Thank You for reminding me of this song right when I'm starting to drift away a little. Lately I've wandered, became cold toward You, gone off path... but there's no condemnation in You. It's not about what I do because You have done everything. Thank You Lord there is now no more struggling & striving in our sins. Save me from missing the point, I just need to accept You are my Lord at any moment by calling O Lord Jesus! Nothing else matters compares to You Lord.

"And nothing I desire compares with You."


Nelson Liu

Nothing. Nothing I desire compares with You.

Lord, Your life is divine, eternal.

Lord, Your life regenerated me.

Lord, Your life is growing within me,

Until I am fully conformed to Thee.
