Oswald Jeffrey Smith  A Canadian Pastor, An Author and A Missions Advocate  The Founder of The People’s Church in Toronto in 1928  Song “Deeper and Deeper”  As I walked along the street on my way to the church, the melody of this hymn sang itself into my heart and with it the words, ‘Into the heart of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go.’ I can still recall the joy and buoyancy of youth, the bright sunshine overhead, and the thrill with which I looked forward to my service that Sunday morning, as again and again I hummed over the words. I wondered if I could retain the music in my mind until the service was over. I was then just twenty-one years of age.

Deeper and Deeper  Into the heart of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go Seeking to know the reason Why He should love me so Why He should stoop to lift me Up from the miry clay Saving my soul, making me whole Though I had wandered away.

Deeper and Deeper  Into the will of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go Praying for grace to follow Seeking His way to know Bowing in full surrender Low at His blessed feet Bidding Him take, break me and make Till I am molded, complete.

Deeper and Deeper  Into the cross of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go Following through the garden Facing the dreaded foe Drinking the cup of sorrow Sobbing with broken heart "O Savior, help! Dear Savior, help! Grace for my weakness impart."

Deeper and Deeper  Into the joy of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go Rising, with soul enraptured Far from the world below Joy in the place of sorrow Peace in the midst of pain Jesus will give, Jesus will give He will uphold and sustain.

Deeper and Deeper  Into the love of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go Praising the One Who brought me Out of my sin and woe And through eternal ages Gratefully I shall sing "O how He loved! O how He loved! Jesus, my Lord and my King!"

Deeper and Deeper  The Heart of Jesus  The Will of Jesus  The Cross of Jesus  The Joy of Jesus  The Love of Jesus
