about

"Deeper, Deeper" was written by Charles Price Jones, who was a African-American preacher, who founded the Church of Christ (Holiness) U.S.A.
Most people won't recognize this obscure hymn. I love the song ,and felt that it fit perfectly with the theme of this album. "Deeper, higher every day, in Jesus". Amen.

lyrics

Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus, daily let me go.
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom; more of grace to know.

Deeper, deeper, blessed Holy Spirit, take me deeper still;
‘Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus, and His perfect will.

Chorus
O deeper yet, I pray, and higher every day;
And wiser, blessed Lord, in Thy precious holy Word.

Deeper, deeper, though it cost hard trials; deeper let me go.
Rooted in the holy Love of Jesus; let me fruitful grow.

Deeper, higher every day, in Jesus; ‘till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image, perfected at last.

~~~Chorus~~~

Deeper, deeper in the faith of Jesus; holy faith, and true.
In His power, and soul exulting wisdom, let me peace pursue.

~~~Chorus~~~
