Deeper and Deeper (Into the Heart of Jesus)
by Oswald J. Smith

|
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, Tho' 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 blessed feet
Bidding Him take, break and make, Till I am molded and meet
Into the cross of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go
Following thro' the garden, facing the dreaded foe
Drinking the cup of sorrow, sobbing with broken heart
"O Savior, help! dear Savior, help! Grace for me 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
