Eighteen Inches Deeper

You can fill your head with knowledge
Memorize all sorts of facts
You can sing about the Saviour
Even hand out gospel tracts
You can talk about the Father
You can speak of His sweet love
But you really get to know Him
When it sinks down from above

Take it eighteen inches deeper
From your head down to your heart
Though the mountain may be steeper
Just be sure to do your part
Take it eighteen inches deeper
Living out what God's begun
Bringing glory to the Father
Singing praises to His Son

You can search the whole world over
But you're never going to find
The answers to life's questions
Til you leave your 'self' behind
Of all the things you learn in life
There are some you can't control
You can be wise as a serpent
Only God can save your soul

Take it eighteen inches deeper
From your head down to your heart
Though the mountain may be steeper
Just be sure to do your part
Take it eighteen inches deeper
Living out what God's begun
Bringing glory to the Father
Hallelujah to His Son
