Today’s hymn focus will be
The Longer I Serve Him
Deuteronomy 10:12 (NASB95)
“What does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”
This hymn was inspired by Bill Gaither’s grandmother, “Mom” Hartwell, as she was nearing the end of her life. She was always singing songs or whispering how good Jesus is. When Bill asked her “has it been worth it, serving Jesus all these years?” She looked up at him with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “Billy, the longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.”
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows; the more that I love Him,
More love He bestows; Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows.
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
We need to wake up and declare as our testimony the words of this song. To share with those around us just how great and wonderful our God is, knowing that through trials and triumphs, through valleys or on mountain tops, He has been with us every step of the way.

The Longer I Serve Him
(The longer I serve him the sweeter He grows)
… Since I started of his kingdom
Since my life he controls
Since I gave my life to Jesus
The longer I serve him the sweeter He grows
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
The more that I love Him
More love He bestows
Each day like heaven, my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
Every need He’s supplying
Plentious grace He bestows
Every day my way gets brighter
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
The more that I love Him
More love He bestows
Each day like heaven, my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
Each day like heaven, my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
