Jesus, deliver us from our selfishness It's roots are twisting up into our hearts Worst of all, there seems to be no cure for this I feel my God, that I may come apart The Jesus that we're shouting in our neighbors' face Looks nothing the Jesus that you are
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying So I am forever giving of my source Take from me this weight that I could never bear And I will follow you forevermore
Jesus, deliver us from our flags and oaths The things that we believe will set us free The fabric country system or a man and his land I'm afraid these things get no respect from me
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying So I am forever giving of my source Take from me this weight that I could never bear And I will follow you forevermore
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying So I am forever giving of my source Take from me this weight that I could never bear And I will follow you forevermore
Jesus, deliver us from our raging pride The things that we say we do in your name With all our vengeance votes and picket signs and guns We put the love you came to bring to shame
