More than oxygen

More than oxygen, I need your love
More than life-giving food the hungry dream of
More than an eloquent word depends on the tongue
More than a passionate song needs to be sung

More than a word could ever say
More than a song could ever convey
I need you more than all of these things
Father, I need you more

More than magnet and steel are drawn to unite
More than poets love words to rhyme as they write
More than comforting warmth of sun in spring
More than the eagle loves wind under its wings

More than a word could ever say
More than a song could ever convey
I love you more than all of these things
Father, I love you more

More than a blazing fire on a winter's night
More than the tall evergreens reach for the light
More than the pounding waves long for the shore
More than these gifts You give, I love You more
