Deeper and Deeper

[BrotherLarry]

I am pleased to share my latest hymn, inspired by my recent trip to Belize and France. Let Him in as you read, Deeper and Deeper.”

1. It doesn’t matter if I am in France or Belize
As long as I can remain here on my knees
Taking more and more of you inside my soul
Lord come in Deeper and Deeper and patch sin’s holes.

Chorus:

Deeper and deeper Lord
Go deeper if you please
Help me open up the hearts of men
In France and Belize
Deeper and deeper Lord
And then go deeper still
Sin left me with longing holes
But you, oh Lord, fulfill.

2. Satan brings us many valleys
And hills and mountain passes
He fills our souls with gaps
As he tries to steal the masses
But strength is in your bosom
And like a sweet molasses,
Give me what it takes to reach them
And fill up their crevasses

Brother, it's deep.

Re: Deeper and Deeper

Jesus has evaded me ever since I came here but this is a nice poem BrotherLarry.

Re: Deeper and Deeper

Jesus never evades us, Brother Roland. If we take one step toward the Lord, He takes two steps toward us. Unless you’re masturbating.

Thanks for the compliment on the poem. It is beautiful, isn’t it?

But the God of Abraham only inspires us with beautiful things. Like one of His faithful I just help Him along.

In piety

Re: Deeper and Deeper

Can you talk about the creative process for you, Brother Larry? Where does it come from? Does the Creator guide your hand or do you feel more like an organ in the passage?

Re: Deeper and Deeper

Brother,

When the LORD comes on you, it flows like the Caribbean Ocean. Do you recall the moment you first gave yourself to Him? (What were you wearing, if I may ask)?

Sometimes my mind just becomes focused on His great love for filthy unwashed smelly sinners like those you might find in a Methodist church. At other times, such as now when we are remembering the weekend He scheduled off for us, it doesn’t take much for the creative juices to flow. One Good Friday I wrote 2500 songs. That has to be a gift from Glory. And the quality of my work is obvious.

May He always rain upon me with words that touch men all over. The thought of that is drawing me to my prayer closet. Oh hallelujah!

Yours in the immaculatenessivity of His Holy Name,
BrotherLarry
