“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
