DEEP IS CALLING TO DEEP
I need You again
I’ve failed on my own
I know You’re the answer
But I don’t know the questions
That my heart is asking
But I know that my being is consumed with wanting You
There’s something deep inside of me
That can’t make the journey into words
A sprinkling of frustration
As I seek to verbalise my heart
It’s not loneliness or fear
It’s a form of desperation
I need more and more of You
And the discipline to seek You
So You’ll find me on my knees
And I’ll be praying with all my heart
I hear the words of scripture being read
And believe them in my mind
But they sometimes make no difference
They don’t change what’s in my heart or my life
Lord give these non-effectual words
Your power to come and change me
‘Cause I strive for holiness
But only You can help me do it
So You’ll find me on my knees
And I’ll be praying with all my heart
And You’ve given me so much
To live my life for
You’ve come into my heart
And made me whole
So I die unto myself
And live for Jesus alone
