Song Meaning

The lyrics immediately plunge into a profound sense of unworthiness and immense gratitude. The speaker acknowledges a divine "goodness" and "love" that is "exceeding above all I can ask for." This sets a tone of deep reverence and awe, establishing a relationship built on receiving unearned blessings. The central emotional tension here is the speaker's fervent desire to reciprocate an overwhelming, unearned generosity. The repeated question, "What can I give to you?" becomes the driving force, highlighting a clear imbalance: "You keep giving and never take away." This creates a powerful push-pull, a yearning to somehow match an unmatched, boundless love. The craft truly shines in the chorus's insistent repetition of "more and more / And more and so much more," amplifying the speaker's intense desire to give. This contrasts sharply with the later, humble realization: "I could never give you more than you give me." The lyrics resolve this tension not through an equal exchange, but by offering the only adequate return: total devotion, declaring, "I'll worship you only, throughout eternity." What makes these lyrics effective is the raw honesty of the speaker's struggle to find an appropriate response to such profound love. The escalating questions in the outro – "What can I do for you / What can I be for you / What can I give to you / What shall I render" – don't just repeat; they deepen the commitment, moving from action to being, to a final, formal offering. This progression captures a powerful human impulse: to respond to profound love with an equally profound, if inherently unequal, devotion.
