More or Less

It's more or less me or you Lord

I'm having my way or yours

I'm either falling apart on my own

Or falling on grace so secure

But if I am never gonna finish this race

If I'm out of step with your spirit of grace

So I'll press on and upward and keep up the pace

That you set when I'm seeking your face.

Ican be more or I can be less

I can do my own thing or do what you say

Delight in my Lord or descend to distress

So I must confess and agree with your way

I'm either living a new life

By the means of your power and might

Or I'm stuck in that old man mode once again

Clinging to dead things obscuring my sight

If it's more of me then it's less of you

And if it's you alone that I would pursue

It will be because You are still faithful and true

And you have done what you've said you would do.

Ican be more or I can be less

I can do my own thing or do what you say

Delight in my Lord or descend to distress

So I must confess and agree with your way
