This song is a musical expression of the battle that goes on in the life of a Christian; the urge to keep living life according to the desires of the flesh, or submit fully to the will of the Spirit of God.
Lyrics
Deep calls unto deep, feel the mighty surge
Deep calls unto deep, fighting with the urge
I don't wanna do, what I wanna do
Don't quite seem to know, what I ought to do
Who is strong enough to quell
What seems to be this flood from hell
Help me, won't somebody help me
Deep calls unto deep, can't you feel the pull
Deep calls unto deep, I'm about to lose it all
I don't wanna do, what I wanna do
Don't quite seem to know, what I ought to do
Who is strong enough to quell
What seems to be this flood from hell
Help me, won't somebody help me
Who will save me, wretched as I am
Stuck in this; the valley of the damned
Deep calls unto deep, hear the fountains roar
Deep calls unto deep, help me I implore
Cause I don't wanna do, what I wanna do
Who is strong enough to quell
What seems to be this flood from hell
Someone somewhere told me it was Jesus, yes Jesus
Deep calls unto deep, but now I know the Lord
Though deep calls unto deep, I abide in His Word
So I don't have to do, what I wanna do
I know what to do; I turn and call on Jesus' name
He is strong enough to quell
What seems to be this flood from hell
It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
It is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Thank you Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
