Deliverance Lyrics

Jesus, deliver us from our selfishness

It's roots are twisting up into our hearts

Worst of all, there seems to be no cure for this

I feel, my God, that I may come apart

The Jesus that we're shouting in our neighbors' face

Looks nothing like the Jesus that you are

Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying

So I am forever giving of my source

Take from me this weight that I could never bear

And I will follow you forevermore

Jesus, deliver us from our flags and oaths

The things that we believe will set us free

The fabric country system or a man and his land

I'm afraid these things get no respect from me

Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying

So I am forever giving of my source

Take from me this weight that I could never bear

And I will follow you forevermore

Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying

So I am forever giving of my source

Take from me this weight that I could never bear

And I will follow you forevermore

Jesus, deliver us from our raging pride

The things that we say we do in your name

With all our vengeance votes and picket signs and guns

We put the love you came to bring to shame
