Underneath
Disciple's song "Underneath" is a modern rock worship track that draws heavily from John chapter 3, focusing on the necessity of spiritual rebirth and baptism. The lyrics weave together Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, emphasizing that being born again is essential for entering God's kingdom. The song uses the imagery of going under the water to symbolize dying to self and being made new, referencing the healing power of Christ's sacrifice. It proclaims God's love in giving His Son so that all who believe may be saved, encouraging listeners to embrace faith and transformation.
I tell you the truth no one can enter the kingdom
Unless he is born again unless he is born again [John 3:3]
How can this be [John 3:4]
People give life to their children
But only God's Spirit can change you into a child of God [John 3:6]
Don't be surprised [John 3:7]
Take me underneath the water
Take me on under there [Matthew 3:15, John 3:5]
No one has gone up except the Son of Man
Who came down from the heavens
Who came down from heaven [John 3:13]
Only believe [John 3:15-16]
Just as the snake was lifted up
People who looked were healed
Jesus the Son was lifted up so we all could be healed [John 3:14]
Take me underneath the water
Take me on under there
Take me underneath the water
I will die to me by being baptized [Matthew 20:22]
All things new old things gone I have realized [2 Corinthians 5:17]
Let's get wet take me under that water
God loves the world so much that He gave His only Son
So that all the ones He made could believe and be saved [John 3:16]
