Steven Curtis Chapman - More To This Life Lyrics






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 back 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.

[Chorus]
But there's more to this life than living and 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;
And somehow he still feels a need to search,
But life just goes on.

[Chorus]

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...

[Chorus]

  9. J.... R....

    I have been questioning whether there really is more to life than just living and dying. I look around me and see little evidence that there is.i have VA lways liked this songand I believe this is one of his best songs along with not home yet.

    J.... R....

    What's more to this life is to know God through Jesus Christ and do his will. His collective calling for us is to live for others and lead others to repentance.

    Mark 16:15‭-‬18 KJV
    And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

    My life changed drastically within a blink of an eye, but i found that i am stronger than what i thought. I have JESUS in my life completely today and some days when its so hard and i don't feel as if i am going to make it he always reminds me that he will never leave me

    was there anything you could have done to prevent it? The stuff that happens outside of our control is the hardest thing to deal with because w3 did nothing to make it happen

    A.... R....

    @John Reed sometimes our past won't let us change. And the people we have been around forever can't handle the change in us. Mine couldn't except the person i really was.

    A.... R....

    @John Reed i couldn't do anything different because it was the hand of God moving in my life, i just had to surrender and let go and give him complete control of my life.

  14. H.... B....

    Haven gone through so much hardship. Losing my house, grandmother, faith in humanity, and even sanity. God is the only thing I can hold onto.

  19. E.... C....

    Couldn't be more true in this moment; I was sitting there on break thinking how quickly the work day had melted away, and then it it hit me: WHAT HAVE I ACCOMPLISHED? I realized then that this shallow life I had built for myself was futile and that my job in and of itself had no bearings on my eternity or anyone else's for that matter; I'm working to survive in order to serve the Lord and others while I'm here.

  20. E.... C....

    I think everyone who heard this song and is moved by it should share it with someone who is worn down by this life.

  21. R.... E....

    I have a playlist on my phone 📱 called "Must Have" this whole album/song is on it. I must have this song at all times.

  22. j.... l....

    how true it is ! and it is so beautifull

  23. F.... M....

    This was the first of his songs I ever heard. It was at a time when I quit using drugs and was turning back to Christ. I had gone through a terrible childhood and many dark memories I battle with even today. Him and various other Christian singers have helped me through bad times with my CPTSD. I didn't even know I had PTSD until a couple years ago. This last year I discovered it was CPTSD. So many tears from hearing this and Place in This World among various other encouraging songs played a great role in me not returning to drugs and even not being a total mess now. Praise God for people like this to sing these heart felt songs.

  24. A.... D....

    Thank you for keeping this on here. Sharing with a Bible Forum for our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." - COME TO JESUS and LIVE ETERNALLY! +

  25. E.... C....

    Don't look now, here comes a teardrop.

  26. A.... C....

    Very beautiful christian gospel song...

  27. T.... B....

    This is the man many years he had bless so many people with his music

  28. G.... A....

    Life does begin at the cross where Jesus Christ died for us. So we can be everything He created us to be. Thank you Lord.

    G.... A....

    That is great All of our Life begin at cross because at the cross we see things cleared

  29. D.... Z....

    Beautiful song!

  30. E.... J....

    Love this song and his voice is so very good.

  31. R.... ....

    this song inspired me greatly. Had to cover iit myself. Takes me back to 1998, listening to it as I sat in the bedroom of my uncle's home in Sicily, listening to the loudest thunder I had ever heard, reflecting on the meaning of my life. My cover here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkJYX9-HWYk&index=10&list=PLJEj80wkqc5XiokbnODHuTH9v6lJtUgw2

  32. T.... B....

    i sit here crying, trying to believe it's true.... so much wasted, worthless, hopeless. Jesus please.

    T.... B....

    Tim-Its hard sometimes. God is still here and isn't going anywhere. It is hard to feel his presence sometimes because its a slow drift. You wake up one day and wonder how far you have moved away from the center of His Divine presence. This happened to me. It took time to find my way back. i began to focus less on what I was dealing with-and it opened my eyes to the lives around me that were dealing with similar issues and much more. The Lord never promised a smooth ride. Quite the contrary. We have ultimate victory in Him-but it comes with a price. But Jesus PAID that price. Our response is to Trust, Believe and ACT on it-even through our pain, and our tears, and our own heartaches-YES. It can be done. I am a witness to His promises.

    T.... B....

    hi tim. your comment is a year old, but i just now saw it. i hope your life is doing okay. i suffer from severe depression and can understand, even with Jesus, it can be difficult. i go thru my ups and downs a lot. i love this song, its very uplifting. i find often that the hardest person to forgive is truly myself. yet just remember this, hold on, it ll pass. also, have you ever heard or seen mark lowry? if not, please google him, his comedy and songs are also a great blessing. he wrote mary did you know but to me his best song is "this too shall pass". i hope this helps. take care

  33. F.... ....

    love this song and three times I spent listening back in the day when life wasn't so hard

  34. C.... N....

    All these comments are a blessing. I see myself in every one of them. This is my personal life theme. Talk to me sometime about it. Love to hear from others about it.

    C.... N....

    Hi Charles. We are all looking for significance in this life. I liked his words, "Look for ways to make tomorrow better than today." I am now 63 years old, and I am contemplating the significance in my life. Much of it comes down to "what did I do for others?" I'm thinking my presence here is to love and serve others. Your thoughts? Bernie.

  35. L.... A....

    awesome 👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁

  36. B.... P....

    Great song. Yes there's more to this life. It is the unseen to eternal life with Jesus our father n heaven.

  37. B.... ....

    response to Bailey. I dont believe the Mormon s know any more about god than anyone else. woody I dont know who you recommended but I never heard of him

  38. s.... ....

    Yes, faith in Jesus Christ alone is how we find more to this life! Jesus said in The Bible that "He has come to bring us more to this life". Jesus wants us to live life more abundantly. It is up to us to choose to allow His Spirit to live and flow through us each day. It is my choice to let Him give me more to this life, each and every day...I hope that is your choice also! God bless you!

  39. D.... T....

    I remember this song back in the 90's when my mom would cut on the radio in Atlanta.

  40. u.... ....

    I remember my parents having this song on a cassette when I was a kid, and I'm going to see him in concert with 3rd day on Sunday yay.

  41. B.... Y....

    I love this song because made me good

  50. J.... K....

    This song started playing in my head while I was at work. I was wondering if this was all that life was going to be. Going to work and coming home over and over again and then I would die of old age. The Lord spoke to me and made me realize that He has a plan for my life. I'll praise Him forever.

    J.... K....

    Jason Kamden I had an experience like that in grad school with this song!

    Hannah Spiceland I often do!!

  58. R.... S....

    There are songs that are made to make money, but also there are songs that are made to transform and change lives, this is one of those, simply perfect. It touches deep inside our souls. Unfortunately the majority of gospel artists, write songs only to make money, therefore songs like this one, is very rare these days.

  59. S.... M....

    i just love this song ..and i love singing it!! my favorite :) check out my short version on my channel :)

  60. m.... ....

    I really liked Steven's soft rock sound in the late 80's and early 90's....

  61. J.... P....

    the two dislikes here need Jesus. pray for them.

  62. J.... P....

  64. M.... ....

    My pastor sang the chorus acapella the other day at my dad's funeral

    I miss my dad

  65. J.... P....

    i loved this song this is on a list of songs i want played at my funeral if Jesus doesn't come first. this reminds us that there's a higher calling for this of us. WE ARE HERE FOR A REASON! thanks for reminding us steven! this is why i fell in love with you!

  66. R.... ....

    First heard this song on his recreation CD.. One of my favorites now. Life can sometimes hit you smack in the face, knock the wind out of you... cant even begin to understand the why behind somethings... But just breathe, More to this life than what we can see...There's a redemptive purpose working behind the scenes

  67. A.... V....

    every time we wake up to injoy another day of life with the one we love we find that theres more in life we need to do before its time to go home and be with our beloved father who gave his life for us we find that life gose on in him and olny in him we find who we are

  68. d.... ....

    Dear God,
    Thanks so much for these words you inspired to Steven so many years ago. They are so much more truer to me today as I hit my middle years, Lord, and I wanna go out living for You and showing You in my life to all around me. Life is short not to live it right. Love you so much Jesus.
    ...Derek

  69. L.... C....

    @arrow325 Probably someone who does not believe that there is more to this life? ^_^

  70. A.... W....

    I have sung this song many, many times, but it as never been more powerful than now in this time of personal crisis. W/o my unshakable faith in God and the love of my family, I shudder to think of where I might be. Each day has been hard since my wife and kids left me. The pain has often been too much to bear. But I cried out to Him and He has held His child in one piece; cracked and broken but still together in HIs mighty hand. I pray for solice, wisdom, and strength to make it one more day.

  71. l.... ....

    I love this song--cuz there's gotta be more!

  72. C.... ....

    Always seems to be in my mind, this song. YAY !!
