DEEPER WELL: A GOSPEL COLLECTIVE

Deeper Well was formed in 2012 as a collective for followers of Jesus who want to use
their creative gifts to explore the depths of the Gospel.

Our goal as a collective is to help creatives and artists navigate the tension so often
found between the world of art and the world of Jesus for art by its very nature is selfexpression, while Jesus by His very nature is self-denial. What we need is a drive for
creativity that is not motivated by the desire to be known, but by the desire to make
Jesus known. It is a need for Christ-expression, for the rise of the prophetic voice. We
must remember that the ancient Hebrew prophets were poets their words were
inspired by God, and drew the people back to God. It was artisans gifted by God who
used their creativity to build a sacred space where Gods presence would be
experienced. We believe that this kind of expression is needed desperately in these
difficult days. Our desire is to provide creative work that flows from a deep understanding
of the gospel and that is available for the church as a whole.

Recognizing that the gospel flows out of Gods generosity toward us in Jesus, every
work that Deeper Well produces will be offered as a free gift. Jesus said, If the Son of
Man is lifted up He will draw all people unto Himself. Our prayer is that these creative
offerings will lift up Jesus and draw you close to Him.

Absolution capo 2nd

A F#m D E
Chorus: Bm E
Your holiness brings the friendship I need
Loneliness flees as I feel Your glory
Like morning break around me
As I decrease I find Youre released
The rush of Your love,
Like the rush of Your blood
Lord, it sustains me, it sustains me
Want to tell You, tell You I love You
Just to know You, my sweetest friend
Awake from your slumber, my dear friend You say
Arise and follow, for I am the way
In Me is your absolution
Ive been undone by Your holy touch
Consumed by the fire of Your holy love
Lord, it sustains me

Words that softly linger with sweet repose
Enclosed by You
In close I see
I am in You and You are in me

Turn me out, set me ablaze

May I leave behind your sweet, sweet peace
Oh Jesus, give me courage to confront this day
To see these intersections of grace
Spirit come over me and fill this place

Some times I may sink

You are the Light
That carries me through
You are the Guide
Thats leading me back to You

Your Wounded Feet

Sinking below the storms of unknown
Im calling, Im calling for You
Jesus, You know I love You so
Forgive me, forgive me
For sailing away
In storms I create
Well, Ill leave today; yes, Ill sail away
Back to You, back to You
Across the sea of uncertainty
I need You, I need You
How can I thank You, my beautiful Love
To love You forever is not long enough
Whenever it feels like Im in too deep
I am reminded I am in You
And the storms that threaten
Lie beneath Your wounded feet
Jesus, Im weak
But You strengthen me
I love You, I love You
I sing You this song
So dont tarry long
Im waiting, Im waiting for You
