I Want to Go Deeper

 I want to go deeper... see,
Your love is like an ocean and I want to rest in the crevice of its Mariana Trench.
The deepest  point below the sea, that's how deep I want to be.
I want to lie in Your peace as if my soul were in coma sleep.
The deepest form of conscious stillness, that's how deep I want to be.
I want to make You my sole focus like monastic meditation.
The deepest notion of devotion, that's how deep I want to be.
I want You to burn within me like magma with Your Spirit as my inner core.
The deepest level beneath earth's surface, that's how deep I want to be.
No, I want to go deeper, I want to be a man after Your own heart!
I want to go deeper, I want to be baptized in Your very Presence!
I want to go deeper, I want to live by Your divine Pathos!
I want to go deeper, I want them to see You before they can see me!
Lord, take this shallow man with his shallow heart and his shallow faith,
And draw Him  deep into Your spring of living water,
Where He can be submerged in the floodgates of Heaven.
I want to go deeper, and deeper still.
