Less of Me

Words and music by Kris Reffett

 

Living like you are my shadow

As my heart battles my ego

But it’s You I want to follow

Up in front is where you need to go

 

Chorus

Less of me

More of You, Lord Jesus

It’s my prayer

That I move out of Your way

Less of me

More of You, Lord Jesus

My desire

Is to be more like You each day

You must increase

I must decrease

 

Always wrestling who’s controlling

Is it flesh or is it holy?

But all that counts in my life’s story

Is that You receive the glory

 

John 3:29-30

The bride belongs to the bridegroom.  The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice.  That joy is mine, and now is complete.  He must become greater: I must become less.
