Jeremy Camp - Deeper Waters Album Lyrics

Take me down to the deeper waters
Gather 'round all your sons and daughters
Put that life into our dry bones

World's got a way of catching your eye
Full of fake promise, good at bad lies
Pushing and pulling every part of my heart
Spent all my days outrunning the dark

Don't wanna get lost in the shadow
Don't wanna be caught there standing in the shallow

Take me down to the deeper waters
Gather 'round all your sons and daughters
Put that life into our dry bones
Take me down to the deeper waters
Show me how a good faith gets stronger
Refine me with fire 'til the fire, it catches my soul

Take me to the place where sweeter things grow
Where once I'm there I'll never be the same
Where nothing else matters and where I can let go
'Cause all I hear is you calling my name

Don't wanna get lost in the shadow
Don't wanna be caught there standing in the shallow

Take me down to the deeper waters
Gather 'round all your sons and daughters
Put that life into our dry bones
Take me down to the deeper waters
Show me how a good faith gets stronger
Refine me with fire 'til the fire, it catches my soul

Down, down
Down, down
Down, down

Take me down to the deeper waters
Gather 'round all your sons and daughters
Put that life into our dry bones

Take me down to the deeper waters
Gather 'round all your sons and daughters
Put that life into our dry bones
Take me down to the deeper waters
Show me how a good faith gets stronger
Refine me with fire 'til the fire, it catches my soul

I'm at war with my humanity
Trying to reclaim my sanity
Nothing in my veins but vanity
It's the same old, same old

You told me it's Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
'Cause if I'm gonna live then there's some things that need to die

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

Somebody give my past my sympathies
Tell the old me I'm not missing me
He can call, but I'm not listening
To the same old, same old

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

You're pushing back the dark to get me closer to the light
Somebody tell my enemies there's nowhere left to hide
You told me it's Your battle, God, so I need You to fight
'Cause if I'm gonna live, then there's some things that need to die

My ego, my pride
My grip on my life
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors
Survivors

'Cause if I'm gonna live then there's some things that need to die
Survivors
Survivors
Throw it all into the fire
And leave no survivors

These days, my heart's always on the run
These days, the world's spinning out of control, oh
These days are fast and they're furious
Feels like the worst is ahead of us, oh, oh
Sometimes it's hard to feel at home, but

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made for these days

What if the beauty isn't crushed?
It just needs the hope that's inside of us, oh, oh
What if it's more than a destiny?
What if we're part of a masterpiece? Oh, oh
Until our Father brings us home

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made (for these days)

'Cause staying when it gets hard
To love with open arms
It's something to embrace
Maybe we were made for these days

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes (He doesn't make mistakes)
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made (for these days)

These days, my heart's always on the run
These days, the world's spinning out of control, oh
These days are fast and they're furious
Feels like the worst is ahead of us, oh, oh
Sometimes it's hard to feel at home, but

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made for these days

What if the beauty isn't crushed?
It just needs the hope that's inside of us, oh, oh
What if it's more than a destiny?
What if we're part of a masterpiece? Oh, oh
Until our Father brings us home

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made (for these days)

'Cause staying when it gets hard
To love with open arms
It's something to embrace
Maybe we were made for these days

I believe that you and I
Are in the right place, at the right time
God called us by name
And He doesn't make mistakes (He doesn't make mistakes)
I know we were born to shine bright
In a dark world that needed some light
Don't have to be afraid
Maybe we were made for these days

Maybe we were made (for these days)
