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 surrenderLow 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!”
