My Deliverer

If you know me, you know that I LOVE MUSIC. I can not get enough of it. I love all types of music. From the classicals (Bach, Mozart) to praise & worship to alternative music (Red, Skillet). One of my main things about music is that it needs depth, it needs a reason to be sung, it needs heart.

One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS was written by Rich Mullins. If you want to listen to music that will pull on your heart and spirit, listen to Rich. If you need a song that will touch the depths of your soul, listen to Rich Mullins. One of my favorite songs by Rich is called "My Deliverer"

My Deliverer

Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa

To escape the rage of a deadly king

There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song

That the captive children used to sing, they were singing...

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

Through a dry and thirsty land

Water from the Kenyon heights, pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart

There in the Sahara winds, Moses heard the whole world cry

for the healing that would flow from Gods own scars, the world was singing...

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

He will never break His promise - He has written it upon the sky

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart - I doubt my eyes

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with the sky

My Deliverer is coming - My Deliverer is standing by

This song of Rich's vividly shows the desperation of the Jewish slave children who are crying out to GOD to send them the DELIVERER. They are desperate to drink the water of Life. They ache for the healing hands of the Father. They are pleading to hear that the Deliverer has come to free them from their bondage.

Today, we sing the very same song. We sing to be free of our addictions. We sing to be free of our lustful hearts. We sing to be free of our sins.
God is waiting to hear us sing those words so that he may come and free us of our bondage.
