The More I Seek You
by Gateway Worship (Kari Jobe)
Theology & Meaning
Reflects the heart of Mary of Bethany who sat at Jesus' feet, prioritizing closeness to Him. Emphasizes God's love and our response of devotion. The song's core truth is that as we seek God more, we experience more of His sweetness and peace.
Worship Leadership Tips
Because of its intimate nature, this song often works best in slower, prayerful parts of a service - perhaps after communion or during an extended worship night. Encourage the congregation to close their eyes.
Arrangement Tips
Minimal instrumentation is key; a soft keyboard pad or acoustic guitar picking can suffice. Don't rush - allow for space between lines or repeats for reflection.
