You Are My Deliverer
I have seen so many evils in my life
And I thought I had so many enemies
Because they have wounded me
And attempted to destroy me.
I have come close to the edge of death
Because I was desperate for your love
And I cannot bear to live one more moment
Under persecution and torment.
I was already weak.
The schemes of the devil?
They worked.
I was defeated.
And I was no more.
But in whatever way
I cannot understand
You saved me
And you saved me time and time again
No matter how far I stray
No matter if I was faithful
You came and grabbed me and brough me close.
What about that time
When you gave me your peace?
How did I react?
I fled full long into sin
I gave over to lust and temptation
I was seeking nothing from you
Because I thought I had lost everything
I was too blinded
To see
That no matter what I have lost
Even my life
I have everything
Because I have you
You are the holy one of God
Christ Jesus my Lord
I don't need to turn anywhere else
I don't need to go anywhere else
I have you.
You are my All-in-all.
Be my loving God.
Have mercy on me.
Thank you for saving me
And making me your son.
Amen.
