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 passing 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 passing 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)
