Deeper

When bruising winds

Reap ruin: bereft,

When my heart starts to

Crumble,

Lead me, O Lord

To Your Rock's cleft:

Deeper into Him.

When fierce clouds frown

With lowering brow,

When life's foundations

Tremble,

O Lord, may I

For shelter go

Deeper into Him.

When breakers surge

With sickening heave,

When walls begin to

Tumble,

In Your voice, Lord,

Deep calls to deep:

Deeper into Him.
