I want more, I want more
than some boring dead religion
I want more, I want more
than to color in somebody's lines
More, I want to live a life of love and passion
I want to know Jesus Christ
Jesus came to earth to bring
A way to live forgiven, found, and free
For something bigger than me, for eternity!
I want more, I want more
than some boring dead religion
I want more, I want more
than to color in somebody's lines
More, I want to live a life of love and passion
I want to know Jesus Christ
It’s Jesus we are following,
In joining Him in everything, we sing:
"How many friends can I bring... for eternity!"
I want more, I want more
than some boring dead religion
I want more, I want more
than to color in somebody's lines
More, I want to live a life of love and passion
I want to know Jesus Christ
Jesus I will dive into Your
Kingdom with my life today!
Jesus I will dive into Your
Kingdom with my life today!
Jesus I will dive into Your
Kingdom with my life today in
everything I am and every
way I play and pray I'll say I'll
follow You and do the things You
do in love and grace and truth and
never, never, never, never,
never be the same I LOVE YOU!
I want more, I want more
than some boring dead religion
I want more, I want more
than to color in somebody's lines
More, I want to live a life of love and passion
I want to know Jesus Christ

I recorded these three songs in my basement back in 2003. They were intended to be the first three songs of a whole worship album. . . but we moved to Michigan during the recording and I never finished it! maybe some day. It’s weird. . .I was trying to write songs for the youth ministry (Student Impact) that I was a part of at the time, but the songs ended up being much more personal. it was a real dark time spiritually, and I needed to believe that there was more to God than “some boring, dead religion”. I still need to believe that. There a sadness in these songs that hints at some of the doubt and cynicism bubbling just underneath the smile. But there is also a desperate hope and a reaching upward toward something - SOMEONE - bigger than myself and my perspective. There must be more to life and faith and reality. . .and I want in.
