1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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!
