I heard a lot of sermons and preachers preach
I heard a lot of singers that inspired me
Spent a lot of Sundays setting on a church pew
Putting in my Jesus time like I'm supposed to do
I wanna' go deeper
Than toting that black book
Deeper, than some divine look
I wanna' go deeper to the solid rock that anchors our soul
Rest our faith on that cornerstone
Deeper
I wanna' go deeper
I was taking under in a water grave
I testified to the church that I was saved
I became a member
I shook the reverend's hand
Just to find that I fell short
I needed more than that
I had to go deeper
Than toting that black book
Deeper, than some divine look
I had to go deeper to the solid rock that anchors our soul
Rest our faith on that cornerstone
Deeper
Yea, had to go deeper
I spent a lot of Sundays sitting on a church pew
