More Of You

In 'More Of You,' Colton Dixon delves into the theme of spiritual surrender and the quest for divine presence. The song opens with the imagery of a self-constructed kingdom, symbolizing the walls and barriers we build around ourselves. Dixon acknowledges that these walls need to fall, indicating a desire to break down personal pride and ego. The repeated plea for 'More of You, less of me' underscores a yearning to diminish self-centeredness and allow a higher power, specifically God, to take control and shape his identity.

The chorus emphasizes a profound need for divine intervention, with Dixon expressing a willingness to surrender everything he holds dear. The lines 'Take it all I surrender, Be my King' reflect a deep commitment to letting go of worldly attachments and embracing a life led by spiritual guidance. This act of surrender is not portrayed as a loss but as a necessary step towards becoming who he is meant to be. The repetition of 'More of You' serves as a mantra, reinforcing the central message of the song.

In the latter part of the song, Dixon reiterates his refusal to 'gain the world and lose my soul,' a reference to the biblical teaching that prioritizes spiritual well-being over material gain. The final lines, 'All to You I surrender, All to You my blessed savior,' echo the traditional Christian hymn 'I Surrender All,' further solidifying the song's foundation in faith and devotion. Through 'More Of You,' Colton Dixon invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider the transformative power of surrendering to a higher purpose.
