Deeper
Krista & Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet I'm still longing for something more
Something far above this earth
And nothing compares to its worth
You're reaching out with arms spread wide
Your love came to rescue me
It goes deeper than the sea
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
God, You alone can pull me through
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
This is a love I can't keep in
So powerful it always wins
This love came down to save us all
For it bled and died on that cross
You're reaching out with arms spread wide
Your love came to rescue me
It goes deeper than the sea
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
I come ready to follow You
God, You alone can pull me through
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
No height, no depth, no length
No thing can separate
Your love goes deeper still, deeper still
No height, no depth, no length
No thing can separate
Your love goes deeper still, deeper still
Your love came to rescue me
It goes deeper than the sea
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
I come ready to follow You
God, You alone can pull me through
Nothing compares to Your love, nothing compares to Your love
