More Than The Blessing

(Verse)

Golden days and silver nights,

Chased the dream like it held my soul.

Told myself the pain had a prize,

But I never stopped to ask, "Lord, what do You want?"

I kept waiting for the flood to break,

For the fire to turn to gold,

But the more I reached for something more,

The further You felt.

(Vers)

Was I chasing You?

Or was I chasing what You could do?

Was I praying to know You?

Or praying to escape?

You whispered, "If I give you nothing, will you stay?"

(Chorus)

What if the promise isn’t the point?

What if the test was never about a breakthrough?

Would I still love You,

If all You gave me was Yourself?

(Verse)

Every prayer was a plea for rescue.

Every tear was a question.

"When will You come through?"

"When will You bless me?"

But I never asked,

"What do You want?"

(Verse)

Was I chasing You?

Or was I chasing what You could do?

Was I praying to know You?

Or praying to escape?

You whispered, "If I give you nothing, will you stay?"

(Chorus)

What if the promise isn’t the point?

What if the test was never about a breakthrough?

Would I still love You,

If all You gave me was Yourself?

(Bridge)

Abraham laid down his son.

Not because he understood,

But because he loved You more.

Would I lay it all down?

Even if it breaks me?

(Outro – Fading, surrender, almost a prayer)

Take it all,

Strip it away,

Till all that’s left

Is You.
