Avalon - More Lyrics + Chords
Lyrics
Verse 1:
More than a shelter
If I was stranded in a storm
More than a fire
In the cold to keep me warm
More than the waves have a need to reach the shore
That's how much I need You
Chorus:
I need more, more
Of You in my life
If I didn't have Your love
How could I survive
I need more, more
I can't get enough
I need more, more of Your love
Verse 2:
More than a dreamer
Has gotta have faith
More than the lonely
Needs a loving embrace
More than freedom
To a prisoner of war
That's how much I need You
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge:
Living life without You in it
I can't comprehend
That's a place I know my heart will never find
I could never live without You
And I don't want to even try
'Cause Your love will always be the reason why...
Repeat CHORUS

Meaning & Inspiration
The song "More" by Avalon, released on June 15, 2010, offers a compelling exploration of spiritual longing and the transformative power of divine encounter. The song, at its core, speaks to an insatiable hunger for a deeper connection with God, a desire that resonates with the profound biblical yearning for more of His presence and grace. This sentiment is beautifully echoed in Psalms 42:1, where the psalmist cries out, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." The lyrics of "More" capture this very essence of a soul reaching out, recognizing an inherent incompleteness that only God can fill. It's not simply a wish for more blessings, but a deeper craving for the source of all sustenance. The song encourages a perspective shift, moving beyond temporal desires to a recognition that true satisfaction is found in the unending wellspring of God's love and power, aligning with Jesus' promise in John 4:14: "Whoever drinks from the water I give them will never thirst again." This isn't a static state of contentment, but an active pursuit, a constant seeking that fuels spiritual growth. The message strongly aligns with the biblical imperative to "seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually" (1 Chronicles 16:11). The desire for "more" isn't a sign of discontentment with God's provision, but rather an acknowledgment of His infinite nature and the boundless depths of His character that can always be explored. It’s an invitation to press onward, to continually draw closer, much like Paul’s encouragement in Philippians 3:12-14 to forget what is behind and press toward the goal for the heavenly prize. This pursuit of "more" is ultimately about becoming more like Christ, reflecting His image and experiencing the fullness of His kingdom, a journey described in Ephesians 4:13 as growing "to maturity, to the full measure of the stature of Christ." The song’s emphasis on this unceasing desire serves as a powerful reminder that a life truly lived in faith is one characterized by perpetual spiritual growth and an ever-deepening relationship with the Creator.
