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!"
