Chris August's song 'A Little More Jesus' is a reflective Christian pop song about the need for personal humility and dependence on Christ. The lyrics describe a moment in church where a familiar truth resonates anew, leading the singer to realize that religious activities and good deeds cannot bring true peace. Instead, the core message is a prayer for more of Jesus and less of self. The song emphasizes that rules and efforts fall short, and what believers truly need is a deeper relationship with Christ. It encourages honest self-examination and surrender, echoing the biblical principle of dying to self.

It was just last Sunday
I was sitting in the pew
The preacher told some stories
Yeah he spoke about the truth
Something resonated
I heard a million times before
Somehow I needed to hear it once more, he said

Chorus:
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

I try to love my neighbor
And love my enemy
I went down to the homeless shelter and I
Gave them food to eat
It made me feel so good inside
But it did not bring me peace
Turns out there's just one thing that I need

Chorus:
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

We've got rules and regulations
Got a stance on everything
It gets so complicated
When all we really need

Is just a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
That I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

Chorus:
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

I could use a little more Jesus 3x
And a little bit less of me
I could use a little more Jesus 3x
And a little bit less of me
A little bit less of me
