Deliver Me

by Richard W. Webb

opening chorus

Deliver me from evil, like that promise in Your Word.
Deliver me from darkness. Light it with Your flaming Sword.
I know You’ve brought me thus far – I was blind and now I see,
But the biggest battle’s coming and I’m my own worst enemy.
Deliver me. Deliver me. Deliver me.

verse 1

The armies are assembled, the battle lines are drawn.
I go out and I look all around
And all I see is my enemy.
I can feel my body tremble. I can see it’s almost dawn.
I don’t know how this day is gonna go.

chorus

Deliver me from evil, like that promise in Your Word.
Deliver me from darkness. Light it with Your flaming Sword.
I know You’ve brought me thus far – I was blind and now I see,
But the biggest battle’s coming and I’m my own worst enemy.
Deliver me. Deliver me. Deliver me.

verse 2

Then I hear a Voice say "Fear not. Just open up your eyes.
Raise your head and look all around.
See what you see: it’s My Victory.
Just press right on and fear not. Press forward for the prize.
Keep the faith, and watch that devil go."

solo

chorus

Deliver me from evil, like that promise in Your Word.
Deliver me from darkness. Light it with Your flaming Sword.
I know You’ve brought me thus far – I was blind and now I see,
But the biggest battle’s coming and I’m my own worst enemy.

closing chorus

Deliver me from evil, like that promise in Your Word.
Deliver me from darkness. Light it with Your flaming Sword.
I know You’ve brought me thus far – I was blind and now I see,
And my biggest battle’s coming and it will be Your Victory.
Deliver me. Deliver me. Deliver me. Deliver me.

[17] And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
