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!
