Deeper Still
The process of conversion is a most delightful thing
It starts when we accept the grace that God is offering
And crowns with joy each day we wake with blessings bright and new
As God perfects this simple life in everything we do
But sadly more than often we lose sight of what God's done
We lose that great excitement that we found in Christ the Son
And church becomes a habit like a club where others go
To meet and greet with people and share worldly things we know
And that that once was precious every morning we would rise
That captivated every moment we would cast our eyes
Upon God's Word of promise just becomes another look
Into a lot of jumbled words within a story book
Not because worship time has changed but because we've forgot
To focus solely on the One Who did forsake us not
And let the other things in life take precedent to win
The root of our attention in this busy life we're in
But busyness without God's guidance can lead us away
From all that truly is most precious when we fail to pray
With earnestness for our salvation as we're taught to do
Through Bible lessons in the scriptures He will lead us to
And just because we don't do evil does not make us right
For God expects His chosen people to become His light
To all the world they have around them as Christ was before
When morning after morning they meet Him with open door
And take that time to sup with Him most deeply in His Word
Each moment weighing carefully all things that they have heard
To see what is that perfect Truth that God would have them live
And thereby through experience likewise His Truth to give
That others too might feed upon the Bread of Jesus Christ
And drink the wine that is His blood He shed at greatest Price
Removing all the filthiness of past sins lived before
To be wrapped in His righteousness as we choose and adore
Each moment like none other at His feet where Love is found
That forms equips and fashions us each morn on Holy ground
Where deeper ever deeper in God's Word we grow like them
Who've gone before in paths of Light to share the Love of Him
Isaiah 28:9-10; Philippians 2:1-15; Revelation 3:19-22
