[Verse 1]
A
In the blood from the cross
E A
I have been washed from sin;
A
But to be free from dross,
Bm7 A E7 A
Still I would en-ter in.
[Refrain]
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E
Into the crimson flood;
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E7 A
Under the precious blood.
[Verse 2]
A
Day by day, hour by hour,
E A
Blessings are sent to me;
A
But for more of His power
Bm7 A E7 A
Ever my prayer shall be.
[Refrain]
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E
Into the crimson flood;
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E7 A
Under the precious blood.
[Verse 3]
A
Near to Christ I would live,
E A
Following Him each day;
A
What I ask He will give;
Bm7 A E7 A
So then with faith I pray.
[Refrain]
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E
Into the crimson flood;
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E7 A
Under the precious blood.
[Verse 4]
A
Now I have peace, sweet peace,
E A
While in this world of sin;
A
But to pray I'll not cease
Bm7 A E7 A
Till I am pure with-in.
[Refrain]
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E
Into the crimson flood;
A D
Deeper yet, deeper yet,
A E7 A
Under the precious blood.
