There is something inside beyond control.
Within my heart that makes me whole.
Sovereign foundations laid before my birth.
Guide my path while on this Earth.
My inner man keeps being re-born.
As labour pains, a rose bears thorns.
Since serpent condemned upon ground to creep.
My heart is calling — deep to deep.
Hold fast to Jesus, me He will keep.
As my heart cries out — deep unto deep.
