Deeper, deeper, in the cross of Jesus;
|
|
| 1. | Deeper, deeper, in the cross of Jesus; |
| | Deeper let me go; |
| | Death and life, they always go together; |
| | Deepen, Lord, the flow. |
| | Oh, deeper yet we pray, |
| | Do work in us each day; |
| | Go deeper, through and through, |
| | Till in Thee we'er wholly new. |
| 2. | Higher, higher, in the life of Jesus; |
| | Lord, we are so low. |
| | By Thy life we all can go much higher- |
| | Higher let us go. |
| | Oh, higher yet we pray- |
| | Transform us every day- |
| | And richer in the flow; |
| | May Thy life be all we know. |
| 3. | Growing, growing, in us He is growing, |
| | More and more each day. |
| | Into all our living He is flowing- |
| | This is now His way. |
| | For growth, O Lord, we pray; |
| | Increase in us each day. |
| | It's not enough to know; |
| | Now Thy life in us must grow. |
| 4. | Living, living, Christ is all our living, |
| | He's so practical: |
| | Small things, big things, anything and all |
| | things- |
| | He's involved in all. |
| | Live Christ in every way; |
| | Oh, live Him out today. |
| | His name you now must call, |
| | And give Him your all for all. |
| 5. | Person, Person, Jesus is our Person, |
| | Living now in us. |
| | He's our tastes, our attitudes and actions; |
| | Oh, how glorious! |
| | Our Person, Lord, Thou art; |
| | Make home in all our heart. |
| | As life in every way |
| | Be our Person, Lord, each day. |
| 6. | Churches, churches, in the local churches |
| | We all find the flow: |
| | Deeper, higher, Christ as all our living, |
| | For the church we grow. |
| | The churches are today |
| | Just Christ in every way. |
| | For this, from self we cease, |
| | For Thy Body, Thine increase. |
| 7. | Building, building, we will see the building |
| | Of the church this way; |
| | Christ experienced will produce the building- |
| | He's the only way. |
| | Oh, build us, Lord, we pray, |
| | By growth of life each day. |
| | Oh, make us now such men |
| | For the new Jerusalem. |
| 8. | Coming, coming, Jesus soon is coming |
| | For His chosen Bride. |
| | In the churches we are all preparing |
| | To be glorified. |
| | Lord Jesus, come again- |
| | This cry is deep within. |
| | We'll praise Thee to the end, |
| | Oh, come back! Come back! Amen! |
