Deeper and Deeper

Into the heart of Je­sus

Deeper and deep­er I go

Seeking to know the rea­son

Why He should love me so

Why He should stoop to lift me

Up from the mi­ry clay

Saving my soul

mak­ing me whole

Though I had wan­dered away.

Into the will of Je­sus

Deeper and deep­er I go

Praying for grace to fol­low

Seeking His way to know;

Bowing in full sur­ren­der

Low at His bless­èd feet

Bidding Him take

break me and make

Till I am mold­ed

com­plete.

Into the cross of Je­sus

Deeper and deep­er I go

Following through the gar­den

Facing the dread­ed foe;

Drinking the cup of sor­row

Sobbing with brok­en heart

O Sav­ior

help! Dear Sav­ior

help!

Grace for my weak­ness im­part.

Into the joy of Je­sus

Deeper and deep­er I go

Rising

with soul en­rap­tured

Far from the world be­low.

Joy in the place of sor­row

Peace in the midst of pain

Jesus will give

Je­sus will give;

He will up­hold and sus­tain.

Into the love of Je­sus

Deeper and deep­er I go

Praising the One who brought me

Out of my sin and woe;

And through eter­nal ag­es

Gratefully I shall sing

O how He loved! O how He loved!

Jesus

my Lord and my king!
