The Belonging Co - More of You Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
We wait here in the silence, when there's nothing left to say
Where the promise of a breakthrough, is just a breath away
We lean into Your presence, as Your glory fills this place
And the power of Your Spirit, leaves nothing here unchanged
Chorus 1
We want more, we want more, more of You
We won't move, we won't move, until You do
Verse 2
There's no limit, there's no ceiling, to all that You can do
The possibilities are endless, when our God is in the room
Where You are there is freedom, where You are there is life
Where's there's hunger and surrender, You'll be there every time
Chorus 2
We want more, we want more, more of You
We won't move, we won't move, until You do
CH TAG
We want more, we want more, more of You
Bridge
Fresh fire, fresh wind, come and do something new in us again, do something new again
Revival within, come and do something new in us again, do something new again

More of You (Feat. Hope Darst) // The Belonging Co
Meaning & Inspiration
The song "More of You" by The Belonging Co, featuring Hope Darst, released on September 19, 2023, is a heartfelt expression of spiritual hunger and dependence. The lyrics open with a picture of waiting in stillness, acknowledging that even in silence, a breakthrough feels imminent. This setting emphasizes a posture of expectation and vulnerability before God. The phrase "We lean into Your presence" highlights the desire for intimacy, believing that God's glory can profoundly impact the environment and the individuals present, leaving nothing untouched. This initial section establishes the song's core theme: seeking a transformative encounter with the divine.
The chorus serves as the central plea and declaration of the song's intention. Repeating the phrases "We want more, we want more, more of You" and "We won't move, we won't move, until You do," it articulates a deep and unwavering desire for a greater experience of God. This isn't a passive request but an active stance of waiting and persistence. The commitment "until You do" signifies a posture of dependence, indicating that the worshippers' next move is contingent upon God's action or presence. It's a powerful statement of prioritizing God's presence above all else.
Building on the theme of divine possibility, the second verse declares that with God, there are "no limits" and "no ceilings" to what can be accomplished. This verse celebrates the boundless potential present when God is actively involved. It connects His presence directly to freedom and life, core benefits sought by believers. The lines "Where's there's hunger and surrender, You'll be there every time" offer assurance that God responds consistently to sincere seeking and yielding. This reinforces the call to posture oneself in hunger and surrender, promising that God's presence is guaranteed in such moments.
The bridge shifts focus to a specific request for spiritual renewal using vivid imagery. The prayer for "fresh fire, fresh wind" echoes biblical symbols associated with the Holy Spirit's power and movement, such as the events of Pentecost in Acts Chapter 2. The desire is not just for a gentle touch but for a dynamic, active work: "come and do something new in us again." This is followed by a specific cry for "revival within," indicating a longing for personal and collective spiritual awakening. The repetition emphasizes the earnestness of this plea for a fresh, new move of God's Spirit among His people.
Overall, "More of You" is a powerful corporate worship anthem that encapsulates the longing for a deeper encounter with God. It reflects themes central to many contemporary worship movements, particularly emphasizing the importance of God's presence, the expectation of breakthrough, the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, and the call for revival. The Belonging Co, rooted in a culture that values spontaneous and presence-driven worship, effectively communicates this desire for a tangible experience of God's reality. Scripturally, the themes resonate with passages like Psalm 42:1-2, expressing deep thirst for God; Isaiah 40:31, speaking of waiting on the Lord; John 7:38-39, referencing rivers of living water (the Spirit); Acts 4:31, where the place was shaken, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit; and Psalm 85:6, a prayer for God to revive His people. The song serves as an invitation for listeners to posture themselves in hungry expectation, believing that God desires to reveal more of Himself to those who sincerely seek Him and surrender their will.
