Lyrics

Verse 1

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, Tho I had wandered away.

Verse 2

Into the heart of Jesus, Deeper and deeper I go, Praying for grace to follow, seeking His way to know, Bowing in full surrender low at His blessed feet, Bidding Him take, bread me and make, Till I am molded and meet.

Verse 3

Into the heart of Jesus, Deeper and deeper I go, Following thro 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."

Verse 4

Into the heart of Jesus, Deeper and deeper I go, Rising with soul enraptured far from the world below, Joy in the place of sorrows, peace in the midst of pain, Jesus will give, Jesus will give; He will uphold and sustain.
