Sheet music
- 1Into 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.
- 2Into the will 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, Break me and make,Till I am molded and meet.
- 3Into the cross of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,Following thru 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!"
- 4Into the joy of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,Rising, with soul enraptured far from the world below;Joy in the place of sorrow, peace in the midst of pain,Jesus will give, Jesus will give;He will uphold and sustain.
