Rita Springer - How Much More Lyrics
Lyrics
Look at the birds of the air
They have no worries or cares
When they spread out their wings they know they can fly
Oh, see the wildflowers dressed
Solomon in all of his best
Can't outshine the sun that's giving them life
All of my worries and questions are running in circles, I'm finding
Don't add a moment, a minute, an hour, a second to my life
How much more do You care for me
If You clothe the fields and the flowers unseen
How much more will You open Your hand
And give to me what You know I need
You know I need
You don't forget or ignore
In You my life is secure
This alone is the cure for anxiety
Now all of my worries and questions stop running in circles, I'm finding
How much more do You care for me
If You clothe the fields and the flowers unseen
How much more will You open Your hand
And give to me what You know I need
You know I need
How much more am I on Your mind
How much more will You provide
You don't withhold any good thing
How much more do You run my way
Right on time, You don't delay
You don't withhold any good thing
How much more am I on Your mind
How much more will You provide
You don't withhold any good thing
How much more do You run my way
Right on time, You don't delay
You don't withhold any good thing
How much more do You care for me
If You clothe the fields and the flowers unseen
How much more will You open Your hand
And give to me what You know I need
You know I need
You know I need

How Much More (Official Lyric Video) // Rita Springer (feat. TAYA)
Meaning & Inspiration
Rita Springer’s latest offering, "How Much More," released on July 26, 2024, as part of her album *Fed By Ravens*, arrives as a potent reminder of divine providence in an age of pervasive anxiety. From its opening notes, the song immediately anchors itself in familiar biblical imagery, inviting listeners into a contemplation of God’s steadfast care.
The narrative of "How Much More" beautifully unfolds from a place of human worry into an affirmation of profound faith. It begins with an observant gaze at creation, referencing the birds of the air that neither sow nor reap yet are fed, a direct echo of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:26 and Luke 12:24. This sets the stage for the profound question at the song's heart: if God cares for the seemingly insignificant, how much more does He cherish humanity, His beloved creation? The lyrics continue this exploration by noting the wildflowers, dressed in a splendor that surpasses even Solomon's finest robes, bringing to mind Matthew 6:28-29 and Luke 12:27. This vivid imagery serves not merely as poetic embellishment but as irrefutable evidence of a Creator meticulously involved in the details of His world.
The pre-chorus then articulates the common human struggle: "All of my worries and questions are running in circles, I'm finding / Don't add a moment, a minute, an hour, a second to my life." This poignant admission directly confronts the futility of anxiety, drawing from Matthew 6:27, where Jesus questions if worrying can add even a single hour to one's life. It highlights the internal conflict between our natural inclination to fret and the spiritual truth that such fretting is ultimately unproductive. This leads directly into the chorus, which is the song's central declaration and question: "How much more do You care for me / If You clothe the fields and the flowers unseen / How much more will You open Your hand / And give to me what You know I need." This is a powerful appeal, shifting from observation to personal application, inviting us to trust in God's provision, knowing that He is intimately aware of our every need (Matthew 6:8, Philippians 4:19). The imagery of God "opening His hand" resonates deeply with Psalms such as 145:15-16, where God is depicted as satisfying the desires of every living thing.
As the song progresses, it moves beyond the initial question to a confident declaration of God's character. The realization that "You don't forget or ignore / In You my life is secure" becomes "the cure for anxiety." This truth aligns with numerous biblical assurances of God’s unwavering faithfulness, such as in Isaiah 49:15-16, where God declares He will never forget His people, and Hebrews 13:5, which promises He will never leave or forsake us. The security found in Him brings a peace that transcends earthly understanding, as described in Philippians 4:6-7. The bridge further amplifies this assurance, repeatedly asking, "How much more am I on Your mind / How much more will You provide / You don't withhold any good thing." These lines are deeply rooted in Scripture, echoing Psalm 8:4 and 139:17-18, affirming God's constant thoughts of us. The promise of provision is strong in Philippians 4:19, and the declaration "You don't withhold any good thing" directly reflects Psalm 84:11 and Romans 8:32, where the ultimate gift of His Son underscores His willingness to graciously give us all things. The assertion, "How much more do You run my way / Right on time, You don't delay," beautifully conveys God’s active, perfectly timed intervention in our lives, a concept seen throughout Scripture, from Ecclesiastes 3:11 to Isaiah 60:22.
"How Much More" is more than just a song; it's a spiritual anchor, meticulously crafted to guide a restless heart back to the peace of divine care. Rita Springer, with her profound understanding of both music and Scripture, delivers a message that doesn't just soothe but firmly re-establishes foundational truths of faith. It serves as an eloquent testament to God’s boundless love and unwavering commitment to His children, encouraging us to release our burdens and trust in the One who knows our needs even before we voice them. This song isn't simply an emotional appeal; it's a biblically grounded anthem that equips the soul to face life's uncertainties with a renewed, unwavering confidence in God’s abundant and timely provision.
