“DEEPER STILL”

Intro (Soft piano, distant choir)

Ooooh…

I’m listening

Verse 1

I’ve been standing at the edge of what I understand

Water moving while I’m sinking in the sand

I’ve been holding on to comfort like it’s truth

But You keep calling me beyond the view

I tried to measure faith with what I see

But every step requires more of me

Pre-Chorus (build)

When the ground beneath me disappears

Your voice is louder than my fear

Chorus (Big, long notes + choir)

I will staaaand where faaith takes oooover

When the waaaaves rise hiiigh

I won’t ruuun to the shooooreline

I’ll lift up my eeeeyes

You’re the voooice that breaaaks the siiiilence

When my strength is goooone

I will fooollow You deeeeper

Where my heart can’t waalk aloooone

(Choir: ooooh — ahhh — sustain)

Verse 2

I’ve seen the storm pretend it had control

Heard the wind speak doubt into my soul

But every wave still bows when You speak

And every fear falls at Your feet

I don’t need to know how this will end

I just need to know You’re where I step

Pre-Chorus

If the dark gets louder than the truth

I will cling to You

Chorus (Bigger)

I will staaaand where faaith takes oooover

When the waaaaves rise hiiigh

I won’t ruuun to the shooooreline

I’ll lift up my eeeeyes

You’re the voooice that breaaaks the siiiilence

When my strength is goooone

I will fooollow You deeeeper

Where my heart can’t waalk aloooone

Bridge (Drop, then build with choir)

Take me deeeeper than my doubt has been

Teach my lungs to breathe again

Let my faaith rise higher than the tide

Let my fear fall silent in Your light

(Choir builds)

Lead me… hold me…

Final Chorus (Full choir, extended notes)

I will staaaand where faaith takes oooover

When the waaaaves colliiiide

I won’t feaar what’s beeeelow me

You are hooolding my liiiife

I will fooollow You deeeeper

Till my heart finaaally knooows

Outro (Choir sustain)

Ooooh… deeper still

You lead me hoooome
