Chris Sarver Shares the Heart Behind “More and More”

Released on July 5, 2024, Chris Sarver’s “More and More” arrives from a place many believers quietly wrestle with, but don’t always talk about.

What does it really mean to ask God for more?

Not more success.
Not more control.
But more of Him.

For Chris, that question wasn’t always easy. Like many, he found himself hesitant. If God already knows what we need, why ask? Wouldn’t that feel selfish?

It’s a tension that can sit quietly in the background of our faith.

But over time, something began to shift.

Instead of starting with requests, Chris leaned into simply worshiping God first. No pressure, no agenda, just being in His presence. And in that place, something changed. The hesitation began to fade, and clarity started to take its place.

That’s where “More and More” was born.

This isn’t just a song Chris set out to write. It’s a response. A prayer that formed in real time as he spent time seeking God. The lyrics gave voice to something he had been trying to articulate for a while, but hadn’t quite found the words for until that moment.

At the same time, his church had entered the year centered around one word: More.

That focus didn’t just influence the song, it confirmed it.

What came out of that season is a song that feels both deeply personal and intentionally communal. You can hear it in the structure, in the simplicity, in the way it invites participation.

This is the kind of song that isn’t meant to stay in your headphones.

It’s meant to be sung together.

One voice becoming many. One prayer shared across a room.

And that’s where “More and More” finds its strength.

It doesn’t try to overcomplicate the message. It doesn’t try to impress. It simply invites the listener into something deeper.

To step into God’s presence.
To let go of hesitation.
To rediscover the simplicity of worship.

Because maybe asking God for more isn’t about wanting more for ourselves.

Maybe it’s about realizing there’s always more of Him to experience.

Chris has always focused on writing songs as they come, without forcing direction. But with “More and More,” he found something he had been hoping for, a song that lives comfortably in both personal devotion and congregational worship.

And in the end, that’s what this song really is.

Not just a release.
Not just a moment.

A prayer.

One that might just become yours too.
