Why deity rhymes the way it does
Deity is built around the high /ษช/ (/ษช/); it's two-syllable and leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 3 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 143, assonance 4,576, and consonance 933. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Deity is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
