DELIVERANCE LYRICS

1. Time

Time - it said will tell
Time - will always take away
Time - reveals the signs of age
When youth has passed away

Time - I feel it lurking here
Time - I see it coming clear
Time flies when there's peace of mind
How it's measured in the rough
Like one being so unkind
Rising from the dust

Time - we live by it's counting
Time - the beating of the drum
Time - it tells us when we can
Or what we cannat do

But our GOD is not held by time
Nor is He restrained
By it's hard bindings

Like chaff blowing in the wind
Time exposing your sin
Appearing clean
But hiding evidence within

When will we escape the strongholds of time

2. 1990

As I start to pen my thoughts
A rush goes through my head
Memories of 1990
Slowly passing by
I can still feel the pain
Like a sword pierced my heart
Selfishness, robbing me of you

I would always talk to you
But now not for days
I was slowly leaving you behind
Caught up her in what was going on
(It seemed so important then
but looking back now I see)
I didn't see what was ahead

Where did I go
What did I do
I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I've done
It's time to let go and forget 1990

Again I'm here to pen my thoughts
Rushing wind blows through my head
Memories of 1990
I guess I'll always feel the pain
Feel the pain pierce my heart
Selfishness robbing me of you

Where did I go
What did I do

I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I know
It's time to go on and forget

3. Learn

A man's life, a boot camp
Preparing him for the grave
There is nothing more to living
Or so I thought I heard them say

Existence carnal, I am but a man
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Fallibility, a probability
Humanness takes its toll on me

(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)

Time after time, we make the same
Line after line, when will we learn

A cosmic commotion
Psychic friends on TV
Call, inquire about your future
Falsified guarantee

Man's deception
Satan's deceit in a world
Full of washed convictions
An emptiness in the mind of
The viewer of the screen
To bleive in such idiocy

To live and learn the nature of man
No on escapes this lesson
Father please forgive me for
I know well what I do
Just surround me with your love
And help me LEARN

4. Who Am I?

Who am I to say what's right
Or for that matter to say what's wrong
What am I but a man
With big ideas but small plans
Guess I'm not much
Different than some

I found it hard to believe
That my brother would deceive me
Am I to assume that he
Meant to do right?
I now know he's not what I believed

Who am I but a man
Your eyes see just who I am
Who am I that you are mindful of me
Lord crash down these walls and
Remind me of who I am

I'm questioning
What's in the heart of a man
That makes us cling to what is wrong
Second birth causes me to
See the distance
From flesh to the spirit is long

Who am I but a man
Your eyes see just who I am

Not anything you've done
That I haven't done
Not anything in which Christ
Was not tempted
Not any crime for which
We're not criminals
Deserving to hang from that tree

Crash down the walls Lord

5. Renew

You tell yourself that you've been had
'Cause even dead you still seem sad

Robbed of your peace of mind
Letting the cares of this
World take control
Why don't you just pass it by
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place

Was it better for you when
You were alive
Rotting contentedly in your old life

Strung out on what you can find
Injecting confusion to the new found grace
Why don't you just let it go
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place

Even dead you still seem so sad
Get a life and make us all glad
The stench dwells
All around you
Get a life, let light surround you

Robgbed of your peace of mind
Letting the cares of this
World take control
Why don't you just pass it by
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place

6. The Rain

Memory of myself the slave
Realize the one who brought the pain
Looking back, I feel the need to blame

It was then I cried

Help me
I know you see
And I'm all tied up
Help me
Set me free

I've seen the rain
And I've felt the pain it brings
Remembering me
The life I lived
The toll it took
The night you found me in the rain

7. Reflection

Time is a reflection
Of past misery so near
Loneliness is real
Looking towards the clouds
For the answer

(and the truth)

Truth itself is real
Abiding only in One
Reaching for a dream
A quest sought by man
Throughout time

8. In The Will

And there he stood so very still
His weary eyes gased
Into the open sky
Voice of Jehovah breaking
Through the den of noise
For his humble servant to hear

Now take your son, your only son
The one I know you love so dear
Land of Moriah calls
A place for worshipping
A place to sacrifice your son to me

And if we're still, so very still
Our eyes gasing into the heavens
Voice of Jehovah will break through
Teh cares of this world
For all his children to hear

Love his son, his only son
The one who draws us near
Voice of Messiah calls
A time for worshipping
A time to sacrifice our hearts to Him

In the will

9. Desperate Cries

I see the cars passing by
Countless people walking the streets
Desperately hurrying to
Where they must go
Living a life
Believing a lie
Refusing to see what must be shown
They're dying

When we know the truth
We hide it all away

Who'll speak the Father's words
Can you hear them crying
With desperate cries

The cries of the children all around
Being robbed of their innocence
Learning and seeing the depravity
Of a nation gone to hell
We must give His truth unto them
They're dying
Can you hear them crying
With desperate cries

10. Sanctuary

Should the stars get in
Your eyes tonight
Remember - remember - Love
And should the strong winds
Become far too much
Remember - remember

Your sanctuary

Should you come into
The promised land
Remember - remember
From where you came
And if your greatest fears are realized
Remember - remember

Your sanctuary

Hush pretty baby and don't you cry
Your daddy's here so
Brush the tears out of your eyes
Brush them from your eyes

Should you find you have
The things you need
Remember - remember - Me
And should the moon turn red
Stars leave the sky
Remember - remember

Your sanctuary
