[Verse 1]
When my hands stretch out towards the sky
You never let me run dry

You never let me run dry
When I dive into the depths of You
My heart is made anew
Jesus, in You
[Chorus]
Your love is a flood and I’m
Caught in the current of Your living waters
It’s Your love, it’s Your love
Your presence is a flood
And I’m caught in the wonder

Into The Deep - Citipointe Worship | Chardon Lewis - Official Lyric Video
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on April 5, 2017, the Official Lyric Video for "Into The Deep" by Citipointe Worship, featuring Chardon Lewis, immediately sets a profound spiritual tone, inviting individuals into an experience of divine intimacy. The song articulates a universal longing for a connection with the Creator, painting a vivid picture of a soul yearning to move beyond superficial faith into the boundless embrace of God's presence. It beautifully captures the essence of Christian devotion, charting a journey from initial seeking to a complete surrender to the overwhelming power of divine affection and renewal, making it a powerful anthem for personal worship and communal experience.
The initial verses of "Into The Deep" establish a foundational trust in God's unwavering provision and transformative power. The imagery of hands reaching out towards the sky evokes a posture of prayer, dependence, and aspiration, a seeking of the divine. This gesture is met with the assurance, "You never let me run dry," a powerful echo of promises found throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 23:1-2, where the Lord, our shepherd, ensures we "lack nothing" and leads us to "still waters." When the worshipper speaks of diving "into the depths of You," it signifies an intentional choice to explore the vastness of God's character and love, not merely staying on the surface. This act of spiritual immersion directly leads to the heart being "made anew," a profound transformation that resonates with Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you," or 2 Corinthians 5:17, which proclaims that "the old has gone, the new is here!" The repeated declaration, "Jesus, in You," anchors this renewal firmly in the person of Christ, recognizing Him as the source of all spiritual vitality and restoration.
The chorus unfolds with an exhilarating depiction of God's love and presence as an irresistible force. Describing "Your love is a flood" and being "caught in the current of Your living waters" draws heavily from biblical metaphors of divine abundance and life-giving Spirit. John 7:38 speaks of "rivers of living water" flowing from those who believe, signifying the indwelling Holy Spirit. Here, the current isn't a threat but a joyous surrender, a powerful experience where the believer is willingly carried away by God's infinite grace. The repetition of "It’s Your love, it’s Your love" emphasizes the source of this overwhelming experience, solidifying that this sensation of being enveloped is purely divine. Furthermore, "Your presence is a flood" and being "caught in the wonder" speaks to the awe-inspiring reality of God's nearness, echoing Psalm 16:11, "In your presence there is fullness of joy." The declaration "You have taken me over, You have won my heart" signifies a complete spiritual victory, a joyful capitulation of the self to divine sovereignty, aligning with Proverbs 23:26, "My son, give me your heart." This isn't a loss of self, but a finding of true self in God, a willing devotion that recognizes Him as the ultimate desire of the soul.
The bridge section elevates the song's theme of immersion to its zenith, becoming a fervent prayer for deeper spiritual experience. The consistent refrain, "Into the deep I will go with You," marks an active, conscious decision by the believer to pursue profound intimacy. It’s an invitation to a journey of trust and vulnerability, extending beyond familiar spiritual territories. The lyrics "Submerge my feet to my head in all of You" express a desire for total immersion, a complete engulfment in God's being—spirit, soul, and body. This imagery powerfully aligns with the concept of baptism, not just as a ritual but as a daily dying to self and rising with Christ, as described in Romans 6:3-4: "Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." To be "drowned in Your love" is not an act of destruction, but of complete saturation and purification, a joyful surrender to an endless ocean of grace, echoing Ephesians 3:18-19's prayer to "grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ." The repeated plea, "Immerse me, immerse me," transforms the bridge into a profound and urgent cry for a ceaseless outpouring of God's Spirit and love, a continuous filling that satisfies every longing and transforms every part of one's existence. "Into The Deep" ultimately delivers a resonant and encouraging invitation to plunge into the endless expanse of God's love, urging believers to embrace a life fully submerged in His presence and continually made new by His Spirit.
