I Want to Love Him More

Refrain: I want to love Him more, I want to love Him more, I want to love Him more, I do, I do, I do; I want to love Him more, I want to love Him more, He’s done so much for me. 2 He died upon the cruel tree, Our load of guilt He bore; He suffered shame for you and me, I want to love Him more. [Refrain] 3 His children He will not forsake, When troubles press them sore; But in their souls sweet peace awakes, I want to love Him more. [Refrain] 4 O Prince of life, sweet Prince of peace, Who dwelt on earth below. My faith in Him will never cease, I want to love Him more. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [With Jesus I would ever be]
