Dig a Little Deeper Lyrics

Nearer to Thee I want to be
I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of his love, God's love
Ooh, I want to shine with love sublime
I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love

Ooh, I want to dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love, his love, our love
Oh Lord, I want to talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would

I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of his love
Oh Lord, I wan' dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in his love, oh, his love

Oh Lord, I'll just talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would
I gon' 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 God's love, his love, our love

Each passing hour, oh Lord, I'll walk my path, my Lord
I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love
Oh Lord, I will dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in the store-house of his love, oh, lord
Oh Lord, I want to talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would

I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love
Oh, Lord, I wan' dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in the store-house of His love, oh, Lord
Oh Lord, I wan' talk more like my Jesus would
Walk more like a Christian should

Dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love

Nearer to Thee I want to be
I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of his love, God's love
Ooh, I want to shine with love sublime
I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love

Ooh, I want to dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in God's love, his love, our love
Oh Lord, I want to talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would

I want to dig a little deeper in the store-house of his love
Oh Lord, I wan' dig a little deeper in God's love 
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in his love, oh, his love

Oh Lord, I'll just talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would
I gon' 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 God's love, his love, our love

Each passing hour, oh Lord, I'll walk my path, my Lord

Oh Lord, I wan' talk more like my Jesus would
Walk more like a Christian should

Dig a little deeper in the store-house of God's love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
