More Than Life
Reuben Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand by everything You said
Stand by the promises we made
Let go of everything I've done
I'll run into Your open arms
And all I know

I love You more than life
I love You more than life

Fall back on everything You've done
Fall back on everlasting arms
When all the world is swept away
You are all the things I need
You're the air I breathe

How can it be
You were the One on the cross
Lifted for all our shame?
How can it be




The scars in Your hands are for me?
You are the king of all

Overall Meaning

The song "More Than Life" by Reuben Morgan is a beautiful expression of devotion and worship to God. In the first verse, the singer affirms his commitment to stand by everything that God has said and all the promises that have been made. He also declares his willingness to let go of everything he has done and run into God's open arms. The chorus is a powerful declaration of love for God, stating that the singer loves Him more than life itself. In the second verse, the singer encourages himself and others to fall back on everything that God has done and to trust in His everlasting arms. The bridge asks how it is possible that God would sacrifice Himself for us, bearing the shame and scars of our sin. The song ends with a declaration that God is the king of all and worthy of all praise.


The imagery of open arms is a powerful symbol throughout the song, representing the welcoming and loving nature of God. The chorus, with its repetition of the line "I love You more than life," conveys a deep sense of devotion and commitment to God. The second verse introduces the idea of falling back on God, emphasizing His strength and faithfulness. The bridge focuses on the incredible sacrifice that God made for us, and the last line of the song amplifies God's greatness and worthiness of our worship.

10 years ago, this song gets me sobbing in bed all day. It carries the same energy even now ❀

@herbbrown9836

I tear up every time I hear it😒

@jalermaling8736

This song was playing in my spirit since yesterday, came here looking for it. Pure worship of the King of kings! To this day, the image of Tulele Faletolu belting out the lead vocals, and that Swedish brother with a difficult name on the drums have stayed with me. I just love these Hillsong classics, they're enduring.

Whenever i hear this song and it reaches to the bridge "how can it be that You where the one on that cross?" My tears always starts to fell.

There was a point where I back slide like many today, still went to church but had no genuine love for Jesus, became so materialistic and prioritised my fleshly desire above my love for God, but God kept calling me back. NOW my relationship with the father is taking shape am not where I should be but THANK God I am better off than te past couple of years. That to can be your testimony, no matter how dark your life might be God is still saying something and indeed the best is yet to come. Love you and God loves you more!!!
