Jesus I Want You
Chanté Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who would truly satisfy
I thought that if he came he would make everything alright
I was looing for a friend
Looking for a man
I was longing for flesh and more suddenly I knew
Jesus I want you to touch me with you spirit
More then any one on earth
More then anyone on earth
More anything on earth
Jesus I want you
I thought that the man who promise me forever
Would hold me more the just one night
And I believe nothing could be sweeter
Then being his delight
Maybe your looking for a friend looking for a man
Are you longing for flesh and more
But I pray one day you'll say
Jesus I want you to touch me with you spirit
Jesus I need you to hide me under your wings
More then anyone on earth
More then anyone on earth
More anything on earth
Jesus I want you
Jesus I want you
To touch me with you spirit
Jesus I need you to hide me under your wings
So mush More then any one on earth
So much More then anyone on earth
So much more anything on earth
Jesus I want you
Jesus I want you
The lyrics of Chanté Moore's song "Jesus I Want You" expresses the singer's realization that her search for fulfillment through human relationships has been futile. She has been waiting for someone who can truly satisfy her, but all her search has led to disappointment as she was looking for a friend or a man that will fill the void she is feeling. She then realized that what she truly needs is Jesus. The singer highlights the superiority of Jesus over anything or anyone on earth, and this is emphasized through the repetition of the phrase "More than anyone on earth, more anything on earth, Jesus I want you."
The chorus of the song is a plea from the singer to Jesus to come into her life and touch her with his spirit. She wants to be hidden under his wings, where she can find refuge and feel safe. This is a metaphorical allusion to the psalmist's description of God as a refuge and a shelter where we can find protection from the dangers of the world. The singer recognizes Jesus as the only one who can meet her deepest needs and longings, and she expresses her desire to have a personal encounter with Him.
Overall, the song "Jesus I Want You" is a declaration of the singer's faith and her confession that Jesus Christ is her ultimate source of love, joy, fulfillment, and hope.
