More Than Ever

<p>When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust<br/>I believed that the Lord’s way was best<br/>I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird<br/>And grieved when it fell from it&#x27;s nest<br/>How I felt His delight when I chose to do right<br/>And I prayed I would not make Him sad<br/>We would meet on the way in the cool of the day<br/>What a pure sweet communion we had<br/><br/>CHORUS:<br/>Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross<br/>More than ever I sit at His feet<br/>All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true<br/>And He is so precious to me<br/>The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep<br/>Through wild jagged places of life<br/>Sometimes I’ve stumbled and fallen so hard<br/>That the stones cut my soul like a knife<br/>But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me<br/>And lift me to cool pastures green<br/>With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds<br/>There I’d rest by the clear healing stream<br/>CHORUS<br/>Is Love’s Old Sweet Story too good to be true?<br/>Do you find all this hard to believe?<br/>Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart<br/>That the hurt child inside you can’t grieve?<br/>I can’t say I blame you<br/>I’ve been where you are<br/>But all I can say is<br/>It’s true!<br/>You’re wanted<br/>You’re precious<br/>You’re the love of His heart<br/>And the old rugged cross was for you<br/>CHORUS<br/>---
