So deep and still the lake this dawn
The morning sun breathes down the hill
This is the world, God, you move upon
And lead me forward, deeper still
Deeper still, Leader, deeper still
You lead me forward, deeper still
And through the forest, along the stream
My eyes with wonder and glory fill
This is the miracle, this is your dream
And as I wander, I go deeper still
Deeper still, Maker, deeper still
You made much more and deeper still
Out to the roads of rock we crushed
And iron forged and havens built
To make our millions, we kill and cut
But as we drill, you are deeper still
Deeper still, Provider, deeper still
You give me bounty, deeper still
Take us back, God, or make us stop
Or let us hear you and do your will
Press your palms on our broken eyes
And heal the wounds that go deeper still
Deeper still, Healer, deeper still
Come heal my darkness, deeper still
And when the dawn comes back again
Back to the lake, to drink my fill
Of all the beauty in the sun and rain
You will love me deeper still
Deeper still Lover, deeper still
Forgive and love me deeper still
