(Verse 1) We go beyond the veil to boldly ask for things we need. But when it comes to searching the Scriptures, why don’t we plead…. For minds that comprehend For hearts to apprehend Why do you skim the surfaces and think that, that will do? When wanting God to go for broke is all that sustains you…. Pre-chorus: But my heart cries… Deeper….. (Chorus) Lord, I want to go deeper… Into the very veins of treasure, buried down below. To the heart of Scripture, and the things you know. My heart is longing for the truths, you said would help me grow… Lord, I want to go, deeper…. (Verse 2) They say to have your daily fill of my necessary food. And that a king-sized breakfast will surely do me good But in my mind There I often find I am hungry, starved for more than just a pitiful bite My soul is craving for, the whole of the bread of life…… (Pre-chorus) So, my heart cries, Deeper…. (Chorus) Lord, I want to go deeper… Into the very veins of treasure, buried down below To the heart of Scripture, and the things you know My heart is longing for the truths, you said would help me grow… Lord, I want to go, deeper….. (Verse 3) I want to know when the day is done, and night has come I’ve exhausted all the oil and not just like the foolish ones have done…. That I may be ready my soul would stay steady When the wind of affliction blow my way, and my house secure, Because I was not satisfied with surface reading, my heart still wanted more. (Pre-chorus) And my heart cried, Deeper….. (Chorus) Lord, I want to go deeper… Into the very veins of treasure, buried down below To the heart of Scripture, and the things you know My heart is longing for the truths, you said would help me grow… Lord, I want to go, deeper… (Outro) Lord, help me go deeper…….
