Lyrics
Verse 1
There is a longing, only You can fill
A raging tempest, only You can still
My soul is thirsty Lord
To know You as I'm known,
Drink from the river
That flows before Your throne
Chorus
Take me deeper, Deeper in love with You
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace
Take me deeper, Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love You more and more
How I long to be deeper in love
Verse 2
Sunrise to sunrise
I will seek Your face
Drawn by the Spirit
To the promise of Your grace
My heart has found in You
A hope that will abide
Here in Your presence
Forever satisfied
Chorus (x2)
Take me deeper, Deeper in love with You
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace
Take me deeper, Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love You more and more
How I long to be deeper in love
Outro
How I long to be deeper in love

Meaning & Inspiration
Don Moen’s “Deeper in Love” frames the Christian life as a continuous movement toward intimacy with God. The opening lines speak of a longing only God can fill and a tempest only God can still, setting human need against divine sufficiency. The thirst described echoes the psalmist’s yearning for God, while “know me as I’m known” touches on the hope of being fully understood by the Creator. The chorus becomes a prayer rather than a statement, asking Jesus to draw the soul closer and deeper than before. In the second verse, seeking God’s face from sunrise to sunrise suggests a daily orientation of the heart, and “drawn by the Spirit” points to grace initiating that pull. The closing image of being forever satisfied in God’s presence connects to a biblical vision of rest and fulfillment. The song treats spiritual depth not as an achievement but as a posture of desire, repeatedly asking for more love, more closeness, and more surrender to Christ’s embrace.
