Deliverance

(album: Deliverance - 1993)

Gazing through the realm of history
And I stopped to see
How God's children suffered at another's hand
Their chains and shackles
Made them pray intensively
Oh, that God would come
And remove them from this land

Being tired of trials great and strong
How they long to come out of slavery, yeah
But God had plans
To help them escape this wrong
So He moved through a man
To make them free, yeah

No matter what the day brings
No matter how tough it seems
There is deliverance
Just take these words from me
Jesus died to set you free
There is, yeah, deliverance

Now looking at the problems
We face currently
How it reaches every one of every race
The bondage of this day has such immensity
And some who live in chains
Refuse to seek God's face

Now it's still the same
But the slavery's of the mind
They live where pain
And suffering never cease, yeah
But God is right
And He's been there all the time
And he longs for His people to be free, yeah

No matter what the day brings
No matter how tough it seems
There is deliverance
Oh, just take these words from me
Jesus died to set you free
There is deliverance

Men and women, girls and boys
And all of you that have no joy
You need, yeah, deliverance
No matter what the day brings
And how tough the chains may seem
There is deliverance

Now if we'd all unite and become one mind
There is nothing for us
That our God won't do, yeah
We'd see the chains fall off and be left behind
And we'd always know
How we made it through, yeah

No matter what the day brings
Deliverance
Or how big the chains may seem
Deliverance
No matter what the day brings
Deliverance
Or how dark the night seems
Deliverance

The act of being freed
Deliverance, deliverance
Come on!
To be set free it takes
Deliverance, deliverance

All nations, all races
All kindred, all people
All nations, all races
All kindred, all people

You're in bondage constantly
And desire to be free
Live a life abundantly
Won't you come along with me
