Abundantly - a Poetic Plea for a Closer Walk with the Savior

Linda Ann Nickerson

More of Jesus, less of me -
Flesh may die; I rise to Thee,
From this breath, eternally,
Living full, abundantly.

Stretch my perceptions, beyond what I see.
Build Your truthful Word in me,
That I may fade, as You may shine,
And I may become fully Thine.

More of Jesus, less of me -
Flesh may die; I rise to Thee,
From this breath, eternally,
Living full, abundantly.

I trust and follow; let me serve
The One who bore what I deserve,
The only Lord, who reigns o'er all.
I long to listen to His call.

More of Jesus, less of me -
Flesh may die; I rise to Thee,
From this breath, eternally,
Living full, abundantly.
