"More Than Anything" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill flips the script around on how we often approach God. Instead of asking God for breakthroughs or miracles in our lives, or for people around us, the song asks us to focus on what truly matters: His presence. Marcus and Jalyn shared that "While songs contending for promises, breakthrough, and miracles are important, we wanted to write something that would instead focus on the Lord as the ultimate prize. Instead of looking at God as a genie in a bottle ready to grant our wishes, we want to honor Him and desire Him more than any good thing He could give."
"Jesus, there's no higher name / Jesus, let all the earth proclaim / You are holy," lyrics that may easily come out of our mouths, but how often do we ask ourselves how this governs our actions and how we approach God? Our approach shouldn't be about what God can do for us — it should be about who He is and placing our trust in where He takes us and what He places on our path. May this song help to refocus your heart on the beauty of His presence, inspire you to self-reflect, and lead you into deeper worship.
