Meditate upon the words of this beautiful song

Deeper in Love

There is a longing only You can fill
A raging tempest only You can still
My soul is thirsty Lord
To know You as I'm known
Drink from the river that flows before Your throne

Take me deeper
Deeper in love with You
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace
Take me deeper
Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love You more and more
How I long to be deeper in love

Sunrise to sunrise
I will seek Your face
Drawn by Your spirit and the promise of Your grace
My heart has finally found
A hope that will abide
Here in Your presence, forever satisfied

O Love that wilt not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give thee back the life I owe
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be

O Light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in Thy sunshine's blaze it's day
May brighter, fairer be

O Joy that seeketh me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall fearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
