John Wilds - We Want More Lyrics

“We Want More” is a prayer for the Holy Spirit to fill surrendered hearts and direct all glory to God. Its lifted hands and repeated invitation communicate expectancy, while the request to be consumed points to devotion that leaves no competing center. The refrain does not define “more” as material blessing or personal success; it consistently names the desired presence as the Holy Spirit and Jesus. That focus gives the repetition a clear devotional purpose.

The language of being filled anew may be associated with Ephesians 5:18, which calls believers to be filled with the Spirit. The cry for unity also aligns with the prayerful setting, though the lyric keeps its emphasis on dependence rather than explanation. Repeated declarations that nothing else will do portray worship as undivided longing for Christ. As the phrases cycle from invitation to crying out, the song functions less as a narrative and more as a sustained congregational petition for God to receive glory and for his presence to shape the gathered community.
