More to Life

 by Steven Curtis Chapman 
 
Today I watched in silence as people passed me by  
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes  
But they all looked at me as if to say 
Life just goes on

 
The old familiar story told in different ways  
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave 
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today  
Life must go on

 
 
But there’s more to this life; living than dying  
More than just trying to make it through the day  
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see  
And there’s more than this life alone can be

 
Tonight he lies in silence staring into space  
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today  
But in the morning light it looks the same  
Life just goes on

 
 
He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work  
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church  
Somehow he still feels a need to search  
Life just goes on

 
 
But there’s more to this life; living than dying,  
More than just trying to make it through the day  
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see  
And there’s more than this life alone can be.

 
 
So where do we start to find every part of what makes this life complete?
If we turn our eyes to Jesus we’ll find Life’s true beginning is there at the cross where He died
He died to bring us more to this life living than dying  
More than just trying to make it through the day  
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see
