More Than These

Stop thinking about it, I’ll give you what you need
Stop thinking about it, it’s more than you can see
You’re beautiful in every way
When tears come streaming down your face
You’re beautiful in every way so…

Stop worrying about it, the birds will get their feed
Stop worrying about it, I love you more than these
Oh don’t count it less than all these scars
The birds and flowers, and the stars
Oh you’re fairer still than these things are …

Stop thinking about it, tell me what you need
Stop worrying about it, it’s more than you can see
Just tell me what you want
Oh tell me what you need
Cuz I love you more than words can say
I draw your picture every day
And it’s beautiful in every way
Yeah, you’re beautiful in every way
Oh, you’re beautiful in every way …

Words from Amy Carmichael

“A Quiet Mind”
By Amy Carmichael


What room is there for troubled fear?
I know my Lord, and He is near;
And He will light my candle, so
That I may see the way to go.
O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
And in my heart make melody.

There need be no bewilderment
To one who goes where he is sent;
The trackless plain by night and day
Is set with signs lest he should stray
O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
And in my heart make melody.

My path may cross a waste of sea,
But that need never frighten me;
Or rivers full to very brim,
But they are open ways to Him.
O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
And in my heart make melody.

My path may lead through woods at night,
Where neither moon nor any light
Of guilding star or beacon shines;
He will not let me miss my signs.
O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
And in my heart make melody.

Lord, grant to me a quiet mind,
That trusting Thee—for Thou art kind—
I may go on without a fear,
For Thou, my Lord, art always near.
O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
And in my heart make melody.
