Originally rising to fame as lead singer in the Christian rock band, Messenger, formed in 2010, he became a favorite during the early auditions of American Idol. Dixon auditioned in the tenth season, along with his sister Schyler, at the Nashville auditions. However, neither of them ended up in the Top 24. After he was sent home, Dixon performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 3, 2011.
Dixon returned in season 11, however he did not plan to audition, initially planning to merely accompany his sister Schyler to her audition. The judges implored Dixon to audition as well, where he sang David Cook's "Permanent". Both he and Schyler were awarded golden tickets. Schyler was cut yet again during the Las Vegas round, which brought him to tears.
On February 23, 2012, Dixon was placed in the season 11 Top 25. In the semi-finals, he performed Paramore's "Decode". He was one of the top five male vote getters and advanced into the Top 13.
More Of You
Colton Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I built up every wall
This is my kingdom and it needs to fall
I want You and no one else
Empty me of myself
Until the only thing that's left is
More of You
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of You
Less of me
More of You
This life I hold so close
Oh, God I let it go
I refuse to gain the world and lose my soul
So take it all I abandon everything I am You can have it
The only thing I need is
More of You
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of You
Less of me
More of You
All to You I surrender
All to You my blessed Savior
I surrender all
The song "More of You" by Colton Dixon highlights the theme of surrendering one's self to God completely. The lyrics suggest that the singer is finally ready to relinquish his own self-centeredness and control, in order to allow God to take over all aspects of his life. He acknowledges that he has built his own castle, but now recognizes that it is time for it to fall, and for him to be emptied of his own selfish desires. He wants to be made into the person he was always meant to be, which he understands can only be achieved by putting God first and allowing Him to become the foundation for everything in his life.
The bridge of the song displays the desire for a complete surrender of everything to God. The singer is willing to abandon everything he is and has in his life, in order to gain more of God's presence. The lyrics suggest that they do not want to live a life with material possessions, without a spiritual foundation, which can be gained through seeking more of God, rather than more material things. The song ends with the singer surrendering everything to God, leaving themselves completely in His hands.
Overall, the song "More of You" is a call for believers to fully trust God and surrender to His guidance, rather than our own selfish desires. It encourages believers to trust in God's plan for their lives and to seek more of Him, rather than trying to build up their own kingdoms. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of surrendering everything to God, as He is the one who can ultimately fulfill our deepest needs and desires.

Mais de ti
Menos de mim
Faça-me quem eu estou destinado a ser
Você é tudo que eu quero, tudo que eu preciso
Tu és meu tudo
Leve tudo, eu me rendo
Seja o meu Rei
Deus eu escolho
Mais de Ti
Menos de mim .
te amo Jesus ❤👏
