So many voices calling out to me

To sell me something, tell me what I need

But they don't know about the treasure

I've found

A gift from heaven I can't live without

It's a kingdom and it's hidden deep inside

I will be living for much more than meets

The eye

'Cause I need the deeper life

Where the love of God runs far and wide

I need the deeper life

I will give him all my heart and mind

I won't be swept away by every changing tide

I believe in the deeper life

I've got my telephone, got my radio

I got a lotta places I can go

But where I wanna be is off the deep end

My Jesus meets me when I dive right in

Don't wanna slip slide on the surface of

This life

My soul will search until this thirst is satisfied

'Cause I need the deeper life

Where the love of God runs far and wide

I need the deeper life

I will give him all my heart and mind

I won't be swept away by every changing tide

I believe in the deeper life
