Deeper

Let me try a little harder

Let me pray a little more

Let me go a little farther

Than I've ever gone before

Let me sing instead of sighing

As I pass beneath the rod

Let my life burn out for others

Less of self and more of God.

Let me see the ones about me

Hungry for the peace I know

And the spirit of my Savior

Father let me ever show

Let me lift the one who's fallen

Help the lame upon the way

Soothe the weary, calm the suffering

Knowing thou wilt come someday

Others, Lord, yes others

Let this my motto be

Help me to live for others

That I may be like Thee.
