Peterson, Andrew - Deliver Us Lyrics






Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile
Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand
Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound
Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land

Deliver us, deliver us
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay
Our shackles they were made with our own hands
Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give
So Yahweh, break this silence if you can

Deliver us, deliver us
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

Deliver us, deliver us
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How often I have longed
To gather you beneath my gentle wings'

    My King, the Hour has become so dark, the night so cold.... Please - restore your people, we cry that you would Rend the Heavens!

    Beautiful song, melodically and production. Awesome poetic but way too old covenant, everything you're asking Him to do, He's done. You are a wonderful artist, I regularly play your songs on my radio Show.

    M.... B....

    @Mark Brown Buy the whole album and listen to it in it's entirety. You will not regret it!

    @Jacob McMichael I play him on my radio show.

    @Mark Brown As has been stated, it's part of an album that tells the story of Jesus from old testament to new. The album is fantastic but, at least initially, should be listened to in order to grasp the entirety.

    Mark, I’m gong to go a little further.... as others have said, this is sung from the perspective of someone who was living in OT Israel. It is part of the whole story....you’re really missing the point, I’m afraid. What you’ve said is roughly the equivalent of saying, “you shouldn’t read Lamentations because it is sooooo old covenant.” Why not take your comment down so it doesn’t confuse other people?

    M.... B....

    @RunFlyDive I think you've gone far enough precious brother...
