Some weeks ago I went to a Steve Bell concert. His lyrics are basically scriptural and it is the way that he combines this with his musical style (folk?) that is so compelling. I’ve been listening to his music a lot lately. While in India in some sort of monastery somewhere he heard the “Deep Calls to Deep”words chanted as part of a spiritual ritual. The words really struck me:
Deep calls to deep and my soul finds no resting place but Him. He is my God, the yearning of my soul His touch can still. And each rare moment I felt His presence, I shall remember and forever cherish.
Deep calls to deep for He created me to be His own. He understands the joy and pain of life He too has known. And each rare moment I felt His presence, I shall remember and forever cherish.
Deep calls to deep and at His feast I am a welcomed guest. He gives me food, the hunger of my soul is laid to rest. And each rare moment I felt His presence, I shall remember and forever cherish.
