Lord, I can’t be satisfied with anything but You

NS926
1
Lord, I can’t be satisfied
With anything but You.
Take me deeper, take me higher,
In my consecration.
From shallow, broken promises,
From my hesitation.

  I want the real thing, Lord.
  I want the real thing.
2
Lord, come now, my morning light
That I might start again.
Day is dawning, night is fading
And it’s constellation
Of fears and failures shall retreat
In the presence of this heat.

  O great consuming light!
  Devour all my night.
3
Lord, I long for higher ground,
To live above the world.
Freed from all the earthly fetters,
I need elevation.
There must be something more, I know,
Someplace higher to explore.

  O raise me up to You!
  No more an earthly view.
4
Lord, go deeper in my being
And set Your anchors there.
Take root downward, bear fruit upward,
Reach your destination
Till all Your life is flowing through
And I’m a branch expressing You.

  “As deep calls unto deep”
  This is what I seek.

Lord, take me deeper and higher in my consecration!

Take root downward, bear fruit upward - You must reach Your destination!

(I've enjoyed this hymn since this brother wrote it in 2019... what a wonderful surprise to hear it again and re-discover it recently: as deep calls unto deep, this is what I seek! )
