More of You (new song)

I wrote a new "song", all my guitar playing friends may have at it. I have a melody in my head if no one else is inspired.

More of You

Verse 1
Alone in the crowd I wait 'til you come,
all this indifference it makes me numb,
They say know you, and the scriptures they do
but their hearts are far away from following you

Chorus
You desire mercy and not sacrifice
When they consider me, they don't ever think twice
Thrown to lions, or to the side of the road
Alone with my burdens, no help with my load
Lord my prayer in all that I do,
less of the world ... more of you.

Verse 2
They'll quote you the world, but live in shell
don't want you to disturbing where all looks well
If I lived on the street, they'd say what a shame
Someone else should help old whats-his-name.

Chorus
You desire mercy and not sacrifice
When they consider me, they don't ever think twice
Thrown to lions, or to the side of the road
Alone with my burdens, no help with my load
Lord my prayer in all that I do,
less of the world ... more of you.

Bridge
Captured by your love
enthralled by your Name,
Your my one love affair
despite all my shame.
At the end of my days,
your judgement at hand
to the golden paved streets
or to the firey lands
Show my Lord
salvation to win,
and that loving too much
was my greatest sin

that loving too much
was my greatest sin.

Chorus
You desire mercy and not sacrifice
When they consider me, they don't ever think twice
Thrown to lions, or to the side of the road
Alone with my burdens, no help with my load
Lord my prayer in all that I do,
less of the world ... more of you.
