More holiness give me.

I remember the day I learned we were having twins I could not stop thinking about the song More Holiness Give Me. I've no clue why that song, actually I do, it probably was Heavenly Father's way of telling me why I'm having twins.

I know it may seem a little early to be making New Year's goals but I'm going to say now that this song and it's words will be my personal theme for the year 2015.

Today I re-read the lyrics and listened to a beautiful rendition by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

1. 
   
   1. More holiness give me,
   More strivings within,
   More patience in suff'ring,
   More sorrow for sin,
   More faith in my Savior,
   More sense of his care,
   More joy in his service,
   More purpose in prayer.
2. 2. More gratitude give me,
   More trust in the Lord,
   More pride in his glory,
   More hope in his word,
   More tears for his sorrows,
   More pain at his grief,
   More meekness in trial,
   More praise for relief.

3. More purity give me,

More strength to o'ercome,

More freedom from earth-stains,

More longing for home.

More fit for the kingdom,

More used would I be,

More blessed and holy--

More, Savior, like thee.

I know it may seem a little early to be making New Year's goals but I'm going to say now that this song and it's words will be my personal theme for the year 2015.
