Deep End (feat. Theo Rivers & Nxhale)

It's hard being this transparent

I met a kid being raised by two trans parents

And they both loved him deeply But there was this God shaped void

Cause they was dealing with some past damage

So he knew love but not the love of Christ

I walked and talked with him through suicidal nights

He told me how he would question his sexuality

And often use drugs to alter his whole reality

I told him, kid, I ain't the one to be giving you answers

But young buck, add up your points like I'm counting your antlers

First of all, this life you living is a gift

And it's far too valuable to risk So fall back

I text him one day with no callbacks

Got to his crib, they found him hanging in his closet

This life that we living is so hostile

That's why we gotta keep sharing the gospel Christians

But everybody you share with won't listen

That's why he said sharing is the mission

It's his job to save him It's our job to repeat the cycle

And answer the call to make disciples

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause it depends

On you and I to love each other past the weekend

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause it depends

On you and I to love each other past the weekend

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

My homie Locked down doing 80 to life

My heart goes out to him but I ain't even wright

Maybe it's cause what he did ain't even right

Over a bag of weed he had taken a life

He never really seemed like the dangerous type

I mean yeah, he wouldn't run facing a fight

But I guess everyone's morals change with the price

Maybe it was something that he drank with a Sprite

Or maybe it was something that was laced in the pipe

But either way it goes I hope he takes it to Christ

I'm praying tonight he finds grace in the light

Then starts shaking the bite of that snake when it strikes

And his face soars at undefining heights

So he would stand out like text in highlights

I know, I know, I should send him a kite

Now listen to Theo cause he giving advice

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause the deep end

On you and I to love each other past the beacon

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause the deep end

On you and I to love each other past the beacon

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

Welcome to the deep end where everything's hostile

Death in the air like a morgue in my nostrils

Amor suited up be prepared for the gospel

Tryna leave an imprint yeah like a fossil

Back in the day I didn't know any better

I used to be a go-getter cold with no sweater

All about the cheddar not talking about cheddar cheese

Tryna be a Mac not talking about Mickey D's

And it's clear to see that we living in the last days

Many at the end like butts in the ashtray

I wonder how many were saved when we passed graves

I pray they Got to hear the gospel on their pathways

He came to earth, reversed the curse and died for our sins

It wasn't on the surface something wrong deeper within

You think this Christian walk is only on the weekend

Oh yeah we need to talk come over to the deep end

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause the deep end

On you and I to love each other past the beacon

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

All to Jesus I surrender all

To him I freely give

And I will love and trust him in

His presence freely give

Cause I surrender all

No no no I surrender all

And all to thee my blessed Savior I surrender all

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause the deep end

On you and I to love each other past the beacon

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end

Disciple making only happens in the deep end

It takes a lot to make it happen cause the deep end

On you and I to love each other past the beacon

Stop being a shallow Christian welcome to the deep end
