\nTo tell you just what Christ means to me
\nI’d say He is more than I could show
\nAnd more than you’ll ever know<\/p>\n
\nChrist means more to me than I could possibly show
\nMore, more, so much more, He’s more than you’ll ever know<\/p>\n
\nYou’d know why He’s life and He’s breath to me
\nYou’d know why He’s more than I could show
\nAnd more than you’ll ever know<\/p>\n
\nChrist means more to me than I could possibly show
\nMore, more, so much more, He’s more than you’ll ever know<\/p>\n
