Deep is about an external divine Voice that pursue's the innermost parts of a girl's heart, mind and soul... even while she is feeling lost day and night in her failures.
She is face to face with the reality that her inner-most intellect is limited and finite and is unable to know a divine loving God without divine intervention... BUT...
... God's pursuit of her leads to her "hearing" past the limitations and she hears God's voice in the form of His Spirit reaching deep within her Spirit like a rushing wave.
This results in a realization of God's goodness to hold her as she trusts him for her life... despite her failures and lack of knowledge of God.
Liner Notes:
Mikael read Psalm 42. There is an old song that covers Psalm 42 verses 1-4. (As a deer panteth for the water) This song completes the original Hymn by focusing on verse 5 for the verses and focusing on 6 & 7 for the Chorus."
We included a version of Bill Brights 4 Spiritual Laws in the Liner of the original pressing. Deep aligns with the 1st theme that God Loves you.
lyrics
A Capella Intro:
You wake me in my sleep to take me deep...
verse 1:
I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know why I'm here.
I don't know what tomorrow brings,
but I know sometimes...
... i want to disappear.
I don't know if I'm dreaming
or if I am awake
I don't know what I don't know but I know...
... that You know and You know how much I can take
pre Chorus:
My heart is crying to you, even when I'm fast asleep
I don't know what I'm holding but I know Your holding me
I may be lost, I may be weak, I may be blind... but I CAN SEEK!
i know You hear, I know You see, I know Your gonna SET ME FREE!
Chorus:
Deep calls unto Deep (God Spirit calls deep unto our spirit)
at the noise of Your Waterfalls (God's "voice")
All Your waves are rushing over me (God pursues us)
You wake me in my sleep (spiritual sleep and literal sleep)
Deep calls unto d-e-e-p
Deep calls unto deep.
verse 2:
I don't know where I'm going.
I don't know what I fear.
I don't know where I need to go,
but I know sometimes...
... Your Words are hard to hear.
I don't know what I'm learning
I don't know why I fall
I don't know what I don't know but I know...
... that You know that I don't know that much at all.
pre Chorus:
My souls cast down within me and I don't know what to do
Your song shall be with me and I'll put my hope in You.
I may be weak, I may be small, I may stumble... I may FALL!
but I know You hear, I know You'll see,
that even in my weakness I AM FREE!
Chorus:
Deep calls unto Deep
at the noise of Your Waterfalls
All Your waves are rushing over me
You wake me in my sleep
Deep calls unto d-e-e-p
Deep calls unto deep.
Outro:
I don't know what I don't know... but You know (X2)
