I want to go deeper
But I don't know how to swim
I want to be meeker
But have you seen this old earth?
I want to fly higher
But these arms won't take me there
I want to be, I want to be
Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you [x2]
I want to go deeper
But is it just a stupid whim?
I want to be weaker
Be a help to the strong
I want to run faster
But this old leg won't carry me
I want to be, I want to be
Maybe I could run
Maybe I could fly, to you
Do you feel the same
When all you see is
Blame in me?
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you [x2]
Maybe I could run
Maybe I could follow
It's time to walk the path
Where many seem to fall
Hold me in your arms
Just like any father would
How long do we have to wait?
How long, we're going all the way
And the wonder of it all is that I'm living just to fall
More in love with you

The words of this song by Delirious? echo the state of my heart. I wanna go deeper with you Lord Jesus. I'm not happy with being on the surface. As much as I wanna go deeper, I find that I cannot do it on my own - John 15v3 is a good reminder of that. And so, I find myself turning to the Lord for help because I cannot do it on my own...yes, I fall at times, but He is faithful to lift me up again. He saved me. I had nothing to do with it except believing, but even the very faith that saved me was provided by Him - Romans 12v3 (WOW!). All this makes me realize that I have no power, no means to take myself deeper, but only to rely on the faith given to me to look upon Him and allow Him to take me by the hand and lead me into the mysterious depths!!!
How often the things of this world get in the way of us going deeper. Help us Lord to let go of these things, because they are temporary and not eternal. They will soon pass away, but You/your Word will never pass away - 2 Corinthians 4v18, Matthew 24v35.
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace."
"
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death
" Philippians 3v10
