Popping into my blog today to share a song that has been one of my World Race anthems! This is a song that came to my mind at training camp in August, and often comes into my head when I think about my race and living a life set apart for Him. I have been convicted lately of overcomplicating things that God created to be simple. Or missing out on life’s little pleasures because I’m caught up in the next thing. This song reminds me of my ultimate purpose here on Earth: to glorify the Lord and enjoy Him forever.
Please enjoy this “oldie.” I hope it encourages you today. Listen to it on your phone and follow along with these lyrics! Or maybe listen to it and then journal about it with the Lord! Or maybe you know a friend who could be encouraged by these words today!
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
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
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
This is Your love, oh God
Not to make much of me
But to send Your own son
So that we could make much of You
For all eternity
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
I want to make much of You
Much of You Jesus

Wow Caroline!! This is so encouraging and such a good reminder that the Lord is worth it all. Our whole purpose is to make much of him! I know the Father is so proud of you because your life brings glory and honor to his name!
Oh how beautiful and what a reminder, “I want to live today to give you praise..”.. What a beautiful song. Thank you Caroline for all your reminders of who He is and how worthy He is to be praised and worshipped. May God continue to guide each day of our lives and may we all “make much of Him”. Love you !
