The lyrics to Planetshakers’ “Deeper” are a powerful plea for intimacy and connection with Jesus Christ. The first verse sets the tone by expressing the singer’s desire to know Christ more deeply, not just hearing His voice, but feeling His presence and seeing His face. The pre-chorus builds on this theme, stating that the singer longs for more of Jesus, making it clear that nothing else but the Savior’s presence can satisfy their soul. This longing comes to a head in the chorus, as they cry out to go deeper, further, and higher with Jesus than they ever have before.
The bridge reiterates the song’s central request for more of Christ – more of His love, His presence, and His grace. Each part of the song builds on the desire to know Jesus more intimately, illustrating how the singer's faith is not just something that they do but a vital component of their life. By striving for a greater connection with Jesus, they reveal their faith and love, so that the lyrics of the song can be seen as a mantra for Christians seeking to deepen their relationship with God.

I've been a Christian for 2 years now and I feel so blessed that I have a relationship with a God who is all knowing, powerful, who shows me the way but mostly a God that loves me. I am truthful in this, I push God away - I tell him to get the hell away from me, I blame him for things I do to myself, but despite this, he pushes into me the moment I say 'I need help' even though he knows I'll do it all again tomorrow. And its my whole hearted desire to be more like Jesus and say 'more of you'
