Planetshakers - Deeper Lyrics

Planetshakers’ song centers on a sustained desire for closeness to Jesus. Each request—to know his voice, see his face, and experience more of his presence—presents worship as personal attention rather than a search for spectacle. The repeated plea for more gives the song a simple devotional focus, while the movement from knowing and hearing to going further and higher conveys spiritual hunger.

The language closely aligns with biblical prayers that seek God earnestly. Psalm 42:1 compares longing for God with a deer thirsting for water, a fitting parallel to the song’s repeated need for more of Jesus. Philippians 3:10 also expresses the desire to know Christ, echoing the opening lines without requiring a claim that the song directly quotes the passage. Together, these connections frame the lyric as a prayer for growing communion with Christ and a life increasingly shaped by his presence.
