Deeper, deeper, in the cross of Jesus

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’re wholly new.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
