Song “Deeper and Deeper”

As I walked along the street on my way to thechurch, the melody of this hymn sang itself intomy heart and with it the words, ‘Into the heart ofJesus, deeper and deeper I go.’ I can still recallthe joy and buoyancy of youth, the brightsunshine overhead, and the thrill with which Ilooked forward to my service that Sundaymorning, as again and again I hummed over thewords. I wondered if I could retain the music inmy mind until the service was over. I was thenjust twenty-one years of age.

Into the heart of JesusDeeper and deeper I goSeeking to know the reasonWhy He should love me soWhy He should stoop to lift meUp from the miry claySaving my soul, making me wholeThough I had wandered away.

Deeper and Deeper

Into the will of JesusDeeper and deeper I goPraying for grace to followSeeking His way to knowBowing in full surrenderLow at His blessed feetBidding Him take, break me and makeTill I am molded, complete.

Deeper and Deeper

Into the cross of JesusDeeper and deeper I goFollowing through the gardenFacing the dreaded foeDrinking the cup of sorrowSobbing with broken heart"O Savior, help! Dear Savior, help! Grace formy weakness impart."

Deeper and Deeper

Into the joy of JesusDeeper and deeper I goRising, with soul enrapturedFar from the world belowJoy in the place of sorrowPeace in the midst of painJesus will give, Jesus will giveHe will uphold and sustain.

Deeper and Deeper

Into the love of JesusDeeper and deeper I goPraising the One Who brought meOut of my sin and woeAnd through eternal agesGratefully I shall sing"O how He loved! O how He loved!Jesus, my Lord and my King!"
