Andrew Peterson: "Deliver Us" (Behold The Lamb of God)

From Andrew Peterson's album "Behold The Lamb of God: the True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ."
- This is more of a "Christmas-y" kind of album, but still has beautiful music and meaningful music with just as powerful lyrics as any other song/album Peterson has.
- Note: This is NOT the 10th anniversary/special edition Andrew Peterson has; this is the first/original album.

*Note: This is just the audio with the image from the album. This is no fancy video nor a music video. Below are the lyrics to the song.

"Deliver Us"

Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile
Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand
Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound
Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land

Deliver us, deliver us
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay
These shackles they were made with our own hands
Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give
So Yahweh, break your silence if you can

Chorus

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem
How often I have longed
To gather you beneath my gentle wings'

Deliver me...

[4Ever4Him1]

@Historychangerz Yeah: shouldn't that be all of us crying out?

But isn't even better that once we cry out, God hears us and LISTENS? He responds, too, and DOES deliver us! :)

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who sent you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" (Luke 13:34-35).

I read this verse today, and I remembered this song. Hearing it makes me sad, because I very much need God's deliverance now..

@4Ever4Him1 Amen!!! :D
