Deep and Wide

We used to sing a chorus when I was growing up called Deep and Wide.  It was a fun chorus and as we sang it we would do the actions leaving out first the word "deep" and then "wide' then both words.  However, as a child I only knew it as a chorus, a fun chorus and I didn't understand what it meant at all. 

However, I want to go away from the meaning for a moment and talk about the church.  We have heard of churches that are a mile wide and an inch deep.  They reach hundreds of people but change very few.  On the other hand there are churches that are very deep but not very wide.  They dig into the Word but have very little influence in the community or the world.  The churches influence is to be both deep and wide.
