Deep Waters
Project 10 Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All night they had been fishing in the waters by the shore.
The Lord said, "Go to deep waters, cast your nets once more."
And because they obeyed, they would never be the same.
Go to deep waters, deep waters,
Where only faith will let you go.
Go out to deep waters, deep waters,
Blessings of faith will overflow.
They cast their nets and almost before they could begin
Their nets were overflowing and they had to pull them in.
And though this was their greatest catch their fishing days would end.
For they abandoned all when they heard the Master's call.
Go to deep waters, deep waters,
Where only faith will let you go.
Go out to deep waters, deep waters,
Blessings of faith will overflow.
Blessings of faith will overflow.
Go to deep waters, deep waters,
Where only faith will let you go.
Go out to deep waters, deep waters,
Blessings of faith will overflow.
Blessings of faith will overflow.
Go.
The lyrics of "Deep Waters" by Project 10 Men tells the story of the biblical account in Luke 5:1-11 where the disciples had been fishing all night and caught nothing. When Jesus came to them, He asked them to cast their nets again, but this time in the deep waters, and they caught so many fish that their net began to break. The song's chorus urges listeners to have faith and trust in God's guidance to lead them to the abundance of blessings that only He can provide.
The song's powerful message of faith and obedience is exemplified in the story of the disciples. Their willingness to follow Jesus' command led to their greatest catch ever and to their newfound purpose in life. The lyrics not only tell the story of the disciples' experience, but they also encourage listeners to seek God's direction and trust Him to guide their paths.
One interesting fact about "Deep Waters" is that it was written by Christian singer and songwriter Paul Baloche, who has written many songs for the Contemporary Christian Music genre. The song was recorded by several artists, including Baloche himself and the Project 10 Men. Another interesting fact is that the song's lyrics are inspired by the Bible, particularly the account in Luke 5:1-11, which tells the story of Jesus' miracle of the fishes.
