Lyrics

The more I seek you,
The more I find you
The more I find you, the more I love you


I wanna sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.

Meaning & Inspiration

“The More I Seek You” expresses a growing desire for closeness with God. Seeking leads to finding, finding deepens love, and love draws the singer toward quiet communion. The picture of sitting at God’s feet conveys attention and devotion, while drinking from the cup in his hand suggests dependence on what only he can provide. Resting near enough to hear a heartbeat makes the song’s language personal and tender without losing its worshipful focus.

The opening progression closely reflects the biblical promise that those who seek God will find him. Jeremiah 29 connects wholehearted seeking with finding, and Psalm 27 describes the face of the Lord as the object of faithful pursuit. The posture at God’s feet may also recall Mary listening to Jesus in Luke 10. Through these images, the song presents worship as sustained attention: a longing to know God, receive from him, and remain near his presence as love continues to grow.
