Deliver me from what you do Deliver me from what you knew Deliver me from what you say Deliver me from how you pray Think it over, think it through Deliver me from what you do
Lead me not into a prayer Lead me not into despair Lead me not into a place Where those who suffer are disgraced Lead me far away from you Deliver me from what you do
Ya didn’t know, ya couldn’t tell Ya’d no idea and even then ya had no say, ya had no choice Ya had to heed a higher voice Till ya change your point of view Deliver me from what you do
Deliver me from what you do Deliver me from what you knew Deliver me from what you say Deliver me from how you pray Think it over, think it through Deliver me from what you do
I am a sinner, yes it’s true I say up late I sing the blues I fail to pray, I don’t believe Ya have to wonder how I sleep Then the nerve to say to you Deliver me from what you do
Jesus calls, Jesus comes Jesus cares for everyone Jesus lives, Jesus saves Jesus loves the ones who stray What would Jesus say to you? Deliver me from what you do
Deliver me from what you do Deliver me from what you knew Deliver me from what you say Deliver me from how you pray Think it over, think it through Deliver me from what you do
