There's More

There’s more

We can only see a little of the ocean,
a few miles distance from the sandy shore,
But out there – beyond
Beyond our eyes’ horizon,
There’s more – there’s more.

We can only sense a little of this mystery
our loves and our lives - barely a core.
But out there - beyond
Beyond the mind’s horizon,
There’s more – there’s more.

There’s no arrival, just the journey,
each step awaiting doorways galore
But in here - beyond
Beyond the heart’s horizon,
Still waiting - there’s more.

We can only grasp a smidgen of God’s love,
Glimpse of treasures from a mighty store,
But out there – beyond
Beyond faith’s’ horizon,
There’s more –there’s more.



God’s love is boundless, goodness and mercy
Flawed lovers are we - forgiveness our chore.
But in here - beyond
beyond love’s horizon
There’s more - there’s more.

How can we thank Thee? Let us count the ways.
With God’s love immense, who‘s keeping score?
Still loving - out there
Beyond the soul’s horizon,
Amazing Grace - there’s more.

Mine is the morning, mine is the sunlight.
Every day is fresh gift to explore.
But out there - beyond
Beyond life’s horizon,
God willing, there’s more.
There’s more.
