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
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteIm daily awed by the fact that "our faith" the measure of our faith is granted to us by HIM ( its HIS love offering as HE sees us hunger for more of HIM..... continue to bask in HIS love my friend. May HIS face continually shine on you...WE do hunger for you LORD....there's nothing else more worthy that to KNOW you!
HIS Word...HIS ways of doing things: We follow gladly Splatt...knowing that as we DO...even that very hunger is a gift; a divine enablement from Abba.
Go deep, young man! The deeper you dig the foundation, the higher the building can be built.
ReplyDeleteperhaps the time has come to take your ministry to book or sermonized. its truely a way or word that would likely be a beneficious viewpoint on which to account and seperate the word. clap clap @siraclikeseepingwater
ReplyDeleteHey Splatt,
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful Blogspot- the Bible says "Iron sharpens Iron"-may this be used as a platform to preach and reach many through the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!!!! Glory be to God and Praise His Name forever more!!!.
**I want to go deeper
But I don't know how to swim**
Do not look into your own strength, keep your gaze upon the MASTER- He has already given the seed to the sower(the ability is in you). Our responsibility is to nuture and caltivate what we've been trusted with.The burden has been laid in your heart-you'll have to birth through the child-remember your first love,continue being His Ambassador/Witness, testify of His goodness-
Be like Isaac, dig deeper until there is water coming out, do not fret,do not loose hope-keep on and it shall be made accountable to you.
you're on the right path Splatt-the desire is there to want to know Him more, as an availble and willing vessel, The Lord will reveal Himself to you in is fullness.Forget not your first LOVE.
God bless and increase you. :-)
