1. Will You Love Jesus More

2. I feel quite sure if I did my best
I could maybe impress you
With tender words and a harmony
A clever rhyme or two

3. But if all I've done in the time we've shared
Is turn your eyes on me
Then I've failed at what I've been called to do
There's someone else I want you to see

4. Will you love Jesus more
When we go our different ways
When this moment is a memory
Will you remember His face

5. Will you look back and realize
You sensed His love more than you did before
I'd pray for nothing less
Than for you to love Jesus more

6. I'd like to keep these memories
In frames of gold and silver
And reminisce a year from now
About the smiles we've shared

7. But above all else I hope you will come
To know the Father's love
When you see the Lord face to face
You'll hear Him say "well done"

8. Will you love Jesus more
When we go our different ways
When this moment is a memory
Will you remember His face

9. Will you look back and realize
You sensed His love more than you did before
I'd pray for nothing less
Than for you to love Jesus more

10. Will you love Jesus more
When we go our different ways
When this moment is a memory
Will you remember His face

11. Will you look back and realize
You sensed His love more than you did before
I'd pray for nothing less
Than for you to love Jesus more

12. I'd pray for nothing less
Than for you to love Jesus more
