Jeremy Camp's 'Deeper Waters' is a worship song about longing for a deeper, more authentic faith. The lyrics express a desire to move beyond a shallow spiritual life and be transformed by God's refining fire. Camp sings about being drawn away from the world's empty promises and into a place of surrender and renewal, where faith grows stronger. The imagery of dry bones being brought to life echoes Ezekiel's vision, and the repeated plea to be taken to deeper waters conveys a heartfelt cry for spiritual depth and intimacy with God.

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
