In The Depths Of My Souls Greatest Longing – Hymn Lyric
In the depths
of my soul’s greatest longing
I am coming, dear Saviour, to thee,
Offering each thought and deed
for refining;
Let thy touch now descend upon me.
Refrain:
Draw me close to thee
in deeper consecration;
Wash me, Lord,
and cleanse my soul
from fear and dross;
Sanctify me
with the fire of thy indwelling
As I tarry
in the shadow of the cross.
Grant me patience
to wait love’s bestowal
As I seek
for that blessing divine;
Quicken each inner wish
with thy power
Till my will becomes blended
with thine.
With the saints,
I am now comprehending
Higher heights,
deeper depths of thy love,
Serving thee
with a heart of compassion,
Day by day
my devotion to prove.

In The Depths Of My Soul’s Greatest Longing: A Journey of Faith and Transformation
In the depths of our souls, there exists a longing – a longing for something greater, something beyond ourselves. It is a yearning for connection, purpose, and fulfillment. We all have experienced this feeling at some point in our lives, and it is in these moments that we seek solace and guidance. This hymn beautifully captures the essence of this longing and the desire to draw closer to our dear Savior, who can bring us peace and transformation.
As we come to the realization that our own efforts fall short, we turn to the divine presence within us. With open hearts, we offer our thoughts and deeds, recognizing that they need refining. We acknowledge that we are imperfect beings, prone to fear and filled with dross, but we trust that through our connection with the divine, we can be washed and cleansed, both inside and out.
Drawing close to our dear Savior requires consecration, a dedicated commitment to seeking a higher path. We long to be freed from the burdens that weigh us down – the anxieties, worries, and insecurities that inhibit our growth. In this search for a deeper connection, we invite the fire of the divine to sanctify us. Just as fire purifies gold, we yearn for the divine fire to refine our souls, burning away the impurities and leaving only love and purity in its wake.
Yet, this journey requires patience. Love’s bestowal is not instant or immediate. We must wait, trusting that in divine timing, the blessings we seek will come to fruition. As we persevere on this path, our inner wishes are quickened by the power of the divine. Our desires align with the divine will, and our individual wills become blended with the grander plan laid out before us.
In this journey, we realize that we are not alone. We are part of a greater community of saints who have also experienced the heights and depths of God’s love. In fellowship with them, we discover the power of compassion, as we serve and love one another. This devotion becomes our everyday practice, a way of embodying the teachings of our dear Savior.
As we reflect on the words of this hymn, we recognize that our souls’ deepest longings are not in vain. They serve as a reminder that within us lies the potential for transformation and growth. We are not bound by our limitations, fears, or past mistakes. Through a commitment to drawing closer to our dear Savior, we can experience a metamorphosis of the heart and soul, transcending our earthly struggles and embracing a life filled with love, peace, and purpose.
So, in the depths of our souls’ greatest longing, let us remember the power of faith, hope, and divine grace. Let us seek solace in the shadow of the cross, knowing that there, we can find renewal and transformation. May this hymn serve as a guiding light on our journey, reminding us to draw close to the source of all love and to live a life of deeper consecration.
And as we do so, we will discover that the greatest fulfillment comes not from worldly pursuits, but from a connection with the divine. We will find that our souls’ deepest longings are answered, and that we are truly drawn close to our dear Savior.
