Deeper
Meredith Andrews Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been wading in shallow water
You're the ocean I am after
And I wanna go, oh, I wanna go with You
Break the silence with Your whisper
Take my hand and pull me under
'Cause I wanna go, oh, I wanna go with You
So
Take me deeper, take me deeper
To where You are that I may find You
Take me further, take me further
Than where I've been
I wanna be with You, be with You, oh

Settling for what my eyes see
Help me believe, help me break free
'Cause I wanna go, oh, I wanna go with You
Yeah

Take me deeper, take me deeper
To where You are that I may find You
Take me further, take me further
Than where I've been
I wanna be with You, be with You, oh

Take me through the desert places
For the chance to see Your face and
Take me past the breaking waves
Into the depth of Your embrace

Take me through the desert places
For the chance to see Your face and
Take me past the breaking waves
Into the depth of Your embrace
Your embrace

Take me deeper, take me deeper
To where You are that I may find You
Take me further, take me further
Than where I've been, I wanna be with

Take me deeper, take me deeper
To where You are that I may find You
Take me further, take me further
Than where I've been




I wanna be with You, be with You
I wanna be with You, be with You, oh
