More of You, Dearest Jesus

"More of You, Dearest Jesus" is a tender, deeply personal prayer set to music. It captures a genuine yearning for a closer relationship with Christ, expressing a simple but profound desire: to know Him more and to be guided by His presence in our daily lives.

The verses walk us through the core mysteries of the faith, moving from the Incarnation to the Holy Eucharist. Because the second verse explicitly asks the Lord to "satisfy my hunger and thirst for Your body and blood," this piece works wonderfully during Communion. As the choir sings these lines from the loft, it invites the congregation into a moment of quiet reflection and spiritual nourishment before the altar.

The gentle flow of the melody and the earnestness of the lyrics make it a moving addition to the Mass. With its final plea to "find my solace in You, that I may not go astray," it is the kind of song that lingers in the mind long after the final notes, keeping our focus entirely on Christ.
