Deep calls out to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.
Psalm 42:7

Deep calls out to deep in the roar of your waterfalls
All your waves and breakers have swept over me
I’m left standing there in the place where years ago I couldn’t reach the bottom
And though my clothes are still damp and at least my toes are still covered
I must confess that it’s no longer enough
Where I once found refreshment I find it no more
And where I struggled to stay afloat now I stand on the water
I don’t want time to be wasted, and I don’t want what I had before
The ocean feels shallow and suddenly I’ve become aware of deeper waters
I fear the shore and cannot go back or I’ll dry up
Yet if I keep wading here I’ll always know there’s more to be had
I want to swim in the depth
The depths of Your love where the sound of waters rushing echoes Your voice
A depth where the unknown becomes known and mysteries revealed
That place no one’s gone before
Where I could keep on swimming yet never find a shore
Where each wave brings a greater revelation
A more beautiful glimpse of your face
And a joy and peace that I can hardly stand
So let the deeper call me out to the even deeper
May I be lost at sea
I take a deep breath and dare to jump; dare to swim
To those places I’m satisfied
There’s always more
You’re always more
