Fervent Friday - The More I Seek You

This week's Fervent Friday is a song that I have loved for almost eight years now. I was introduced to it while on a youth group missions trip in Chicago, and it has stayed my heart's desire. Here are the simple and beautiful lyrics. Click title of song for the link to listen! 

-Kari Jobe

The more I seek You, the more I find You.
The more I find You, the more I love You.
I wanna sit at Your feet,
Drink from the cup in Your hand,
Lay back against You and breathe,
Feel Your heart beat.
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in Your peace.
It's overwhelming.

When I think of laying back against someone, being so close that I can hear their heart beating, I am brought to a place of trust, vulnerability, and total intimacy. The more we seek to be close to God, the more He reveals His love and character to us. His Father heart longs to hold us and have us know Him in the most intimate way.

I'd love to hear how this song spoke to you! Converse, create an artistic response (poem, picture, song...), or just simply comment!!

-Go sing God's love song to the world!

  1. Yep...still one of my favorites as well. The first time I heard it I was struck by the intimacy we are invited to share with Christ. He longs for me to stop and just rest in Him, with Him!
    Love you my girl and love the memory if singing this with you!
