Nearer to Thee I want to be I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love I want to shine with love sublime I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love Refrain: I want to dig a little deeper, yes, dig a little deeper I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love I want to talk like Jesus would, and walk like a Christian should I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love
I want to do what's always true I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love Each pa**ing hour I want more power, I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love Refrain Teach me thy love way each pa**ing day I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love Thy will to know as on I go I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love (Refrain)
