A Little More . . .

Jennifer Knapp is a unique and creative singer/songwriter from my home state of Kansas. She was in the Christian music "industry" :p for a while and put out some wonderful music. I think, however, she didn't quite fit the mold of the time and found her way to other things. Her music is intelligent, poetic . . . and she plays a Taylor guitar. Lyrics are below the vid...



Turn Your eyes from on this way
I have proved to live a dastardly day
I hid my face from the saints and the angels
Who sing of Your glory
What You had in mind
My weakness shines show me grace

CHORUS:
A little more than I can give
A little more than I deserve
Unearth this holiness I can't earn
It's a little more than I can give
A little more than I deserve

For all the sin that lives in me
It took a nail to set me free still,
What I do I don't want to do and so goes the story
What You had in mind
What we seek we'll find, shine, show me grace

CHORUS

With all this motivation I still find a hesitation
Deep in my soul
Despite all my demanding I still find You understanding
Show me grace show me grace I know is...

CHORUS
