I've been reading The Passion Translation of the Bible lately, and it draws out the sense that God intends for us to know Him deeply, immediately, and intimately. When a Bible study that I participate in came to 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, I was touched and began scribbling down this song.
Things beyond our ability to imagine—
These are the many things God has in store
For all his lovers.
But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit.
Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries
Through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things.
—1 Corinthians 2:9-10
Deep Secrets
Deep secrets, mysteries unbounded
Lord, take me deeper, over my head.
Love all around me, more than I can fathom.
How can I know things that cannot be known?
You give your Spirit
Over and around us
Give us the mind of Christ.
How can a bucket ever hold the ocean?
Still, help me know more of the mystery of grace.
Deep secrets, mysteries unbounded.
Lord, take me deeper, over my head.
Love all around me, more than I can fathom
How can I know things that cannot be known?
O Lord take me deeper than I've ever known.
Deep secrets, mysteries unbounded.
Lord, take us deeper, over our heads.
Love all around us more than we can fathom
How can we know things that cannot be known?
O Lord take us deeper than we've ever known.
