More Of You
Colton Dixon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made my castle tall
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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 ❤👏
