Deeper yet I pray

I woke up today with a melody in my mind, was humming and realized it was "The Solid Rock" ...my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness... I pounced on the hymn book I have to read all it's verses...in so doing, my eyes landed on the next page, with a song that made me smile, for it challenges and exhorts me to the core and is my heart's cry in my walk with the Lord. Here it is...

Deeper, Deeper

Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.

Ch:
O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev'ry day,
And wiser blessed Lord,
In Thy precious holy word.

Deeper, deeper! Blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,
And His perfect will.

Chorus

Deeper, Deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.

Chorus

Deeper, higher, ev'ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqu'ror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.

O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev'ry day,
And wiser blessed Lord,
In Thy precious holy word.
