Much of You

This song has really been resonating with me lately. Our lives are so small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We're just a little pinprick in time- our lives are so short! The greatest purpose we can have in our short life on earth is to point people to Jesus. We should not be making a name for ourselves. We should not be gaining riches for ourselves (you can't take it with you when you die anyway!). The only thing that matters is living for Jesus. Life here is short, but eternity in heaven is forever!

How could I stand here

And watch the sun rise
Follow the mountains
Where they touch the sky
Ponder the vastness
And the depths of the sea
And think for a moment
The point of it all was to make much of me?
Cause I'm just a whisper
And You are the thunder and

Chorus:
I want to make much of You, Jesus
I want to make much of Your love
I want to live today to give You the praise
That You alone are so worthy of
I want to make much of Your mercy
I want to make much of Your cross
I give You my life
Take it and let it be used
To make much of You

And how can I kneel here
And think of the cross
The thorns and the whip and the nails and the spear
The infinite cost
To purchase my pardon
And bear all my shame
To think I have anything worth boasting in except for Your name
Cause I am a sinner
And You are the Savior

Chorus:
I want to make much of You, Jesus
I want to make much of Your love
I want to live today to give You the praise
That You alone are so worthy of
I want to make much of Your mercy
I want to make much of Your cross
I give You my life
Take it and let it be used
To make much of You
