Until we know the depths
Until we know our depth of sin
Until we know the depths we fall
Until we know the deep
Until we know the fear
Until we know to fear the One
Who rightly could cast us astray
Into the depths we seek
Until we know to wait
Until we know to wait and trust
Until we know to trust, the weight
Will deepen where we sink
Until we know to hope
Until we know our hopelessness
Until we know to hope beyond
Our sinking hopelessness
Until we know to cry
Until we know the cry of pain
Which Love lets out on our behalf
Until then, we are dry.
