Deliver Me from Evil

V.1

With broken soul and shattered mind

I walk this waste seeking to find

The only power that can unbind

This black inside that makes me blind

V.2

Frustration leads me into hate

And makes this darkness emanate

Selfish prayers prayed to escape

This life, this world, this shadowed fate

Chorus:

God I beg please hear my cries

Bursting through these clouded skies

This stone-like heart is filled with lies

My sinking soul so slowly dies

V.3

I throw myself before my King

My tears the only song I sing

This sorrow to your feet I bring

Despite it all, to You I cling

V.4

I know you hear my soul’s deep groans

As it convulses, twists and moans

And time again is struck with stones

Bruises, cuts and splintered bones

Chorus: (repeat)

V.5

The evil one keeps stalking me

Wrapped in his chains, I’m far from free

Yet none will crush my faith in thee

Who bled and died upon the Tree

Chorus: (repeat 2x)

Deliver me, deliver me…
