A Deeper Well 2

Some songs are born complete. Everyday was hatched from Megan Mardesen's words during the West Virginia mission trip. Besides a few little changes to fit the melody better, the lyrics are the same as the first time I wrote them. Other songs float around my brain for years with lines and hooks ever to find completion. I started Deeper Well the other day and thought I had it. Then I woke this morning and started playing it. I adjusted some lines of the verse but then BOOM! the third verse just came from my mouth.

My God isn't trapped in a church on a hill. He isn't a new-age packaged deity in a shiny box or a wonder drug cure. He is the God that created everything. He is living and breathing all around. Here is a second updated version of our new song. I will post the scriptures this is from later.

A Deeper Well

Lord, You're my everything
I just can't get enough of You
My soul is thristy
My body aches for a drink that's true

I'm tired of the face and I'm tired of the race
Of the walls that are built between me and you
I'm tired of running and I'm tired of fighting
I need a deeper drink of you

A deeper well, a deeper well

I come here to worship
I need you to open my eyes
To drink from your deep well
At last my soul feels alive

my lips are open and spill forth like a fountian
with my every breath I give you praise
I rise up and stand and lift up my hands
My arms are like banners which I raise

I'm searching for a path that's true
One that leads back closer to You
I'm thristy for a deeper drink of You


You're not in a house
You're not on a hill
You're not in a box
You're not in a pill

You're not just a name
You're not just a label
You're not just a service
You're not just a table

You're everywhere.... You're everywhere.... You're everywhere.... You're everywhere....

I'm searching for a path that's true
One that leads back closer to You
I'm thristy for a deeper drink of You

Spirit won't you lift me up and tip me back and fill me with Your love
Spirit won't you lift me up and tip me back and fill me with Your love
Spirit won't you lift me up and tip me back and fill me with Your love


A deeper well
