There’s a life that’s deeper than our mind

There’s a life that’s deeper than our mind

With experience of man

yet so divine.

It’s a life that knows no bounds;

And with glory is crowned;

It’s of depth and height and breadth unsearchable.

Now this life is just the Living One

Manifested in the Person of the Son.

As the Spirit

He flows;

In our spirit He grows

Growing up to be the church that He desires.

O Lord

we’re just for Your flowing;

How we need a deeper knowing!

Life is why we’re here

And why You’ve come in us.

Turn us

Lord

turn us now;

Turn us deeply—Life is how

You will get the church

The home You’re longing for.

In the church

we all can apprehend

All the riches of this life that is within.

Not just shallowness with strife

But a deep and peaceful life

Is just waiting to flow out

a living spring.

With the saints it’s easy to be bold

To pursue this life

to gain it

to lay hold.

All the other things we find

Must be quickly left behind

So that only life remains for us to see.

Deeper

Lord our turn must be to You;

We would move by life in everything we do;

All our concepts refute

For Your life be absolute—

Grant us grace to turn much deeper day by day.

When we touch our spirit—such a thrill!

This is far beyond emotion

mind

and will—

It’s within our hidden part—

Come

make home in all our heart;

Let Your presence flow as rivers deep within.
