Much of You

To be someone who is musically inclined, I have recently gone through a period where I’ve preferred the silence and stillness as opposed to listening to the clanging sounds of music. This weekend, however, I had the opportunity to go out of town and spent the majority of our travel time listening to the sounds of one of my favorite artists, Steven Curtis Chapman. Below are lyrics to one of his songs. My question to you would be, who are you making much of? Is it yourself?

Much of You

by: Steven Curtis Chapman

How could I stand here

And watch the sun rise

Follow the mountains

Where they touch the sky

Ponder the vastness

And the depths of the sea

And think for a moment

The point of it all

Was to make much of me

'Cause I'm just a whisper

And You are the thunder and

I want to make much of You, Jesus

I want to make much of Your love

I want to live today to give You the praise

That You alone are so worthy of

I want to make much of Your mercy

I want to make much of Your cross

I give You my life

Take it and let it be used

To make much of You

And how can I kneel here

And think of the cross

The thorns and the whip

And the nails and the spear

The infinite cost

To purchase my pardon

And bear all my shame

To think I have anything worth boasting in

Except for Your name

'Cause I'm a sinner

And You are the Savior and

I want to make much of You, Jesus

I want to make much of Your love

I want to live today to give You the praise

That You alone are so worthy of

I want to make much of Your mercy

I want to make much of Your cross

I give You my life

Take it and let it be used

To make much of You

This is Your love, oh, God

Not to make much of me

But to send Your own Son

So that we could make much of You

For all eternity

And I want to make much of You, Jesus

I want to make much of Your love

I want to live today to give You the praise

That You alone are so worthy of

I want to make much of Your mercy

I want to make much of Your cross

I give You my life

Take it and let it be used

To make much of You

I want to make much of You

Much of You, Jesus
