Andrew Ripp's 'Deep Water' is a song about stepping out in faith and leaving behind a life of fear and hesitation. The lyrics describe a person who has been paralyzed by fear, standing at the shore and afraid to venture into the unknown. But they hear God calling them into deeper waters, a metaphor for a more profound trust and surrender. The song speaks of being redeemed from past demons and choosing to go deeper with God, never to be the same again. It encourages listeners to move from the shallow into a life of bold faith.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's like quicksand leaving me feeling paralyzed
At the edge of the ocean floor
I've been standing here looking out at paradise
Too afraid to leave the shore
If I wake up tomorrow
I don't want to be found in the shallow
All my life I've waited for this
I'm rollin' out to deep water
I hear you callin' out my name
Deep water
I will never be the same
Deep water
Deep water
I spent my whole life looking for ways to medicate
Too afraid to fight the war
And I'm sick and tired of this fallen chase
Never going back anymore
If I wake up tomorrow
I don't want to be found in the shallow
All my life I've waited for this
I'm rollin' out to deep water
I hear you callin' out my name
Deep water
I will never be the same
Deep water
Deep water
I've been redeemed from all of my demons
You've taken me deeper
You're taking me deeper
I've been redeemed from everyone of my demons
And I'm going deeper
I'm rollin' out to deep water
I hear you callin' out my name
Deep water
I hear you callin' out my name
I'm rollin' out to deep water
I hear you calling out my name
Deep water
I will never be the same
Deep water
Deep water
