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 - perhaps just a core.
But out there - beyond
Beyond the mind’s’ horizon,
There’s more – there’s more.

There’s no arrival, only the journey,
each step awaiting new doorways galore
But in here - beyond
Beyond the heart’s horizon,
Waiting for us - there’s more

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

God’s love is boundless, Mercy and goodness.
We are flawed lovers - 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.
Since God’s love is boundless: who ‘s keeping score:
Still knowing - out there
Beyond the soul’s horizon.
Amazing Grace - opens the door

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