Lyrics to 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 singin':

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by;
My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' 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,
Jesus heard the whole world cry.
For the healin' that would flow from His own scars,
The world was singin':

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by,
My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by.
He will never break His promise.
He has written it upon the sky.

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by, (3x)
I will never doubt His promise
Though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes.

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by, (3x)
He will never break his promise
Though the stars should break faith with the sky.
