A song from the album "Decade of Deliverance" by Deliverance.
Lyrics:
Slaves to the King of Kings
And slaves to love
Steer the ship by the sweat
Of our brow and beat of the drum
War against sin with the weapons of our unity
Right on the mark with a love for humanity
Building up to ramming speed
The power of God is ramming speed
The sea is raging, there's the enemy ahead
On fiery waters float the bodies of the dead
We count our casualties, but we will never stop
Building up to ramming speed
The power of God is ramming speed
Set the captives free with a strike against the enemy
We'll live to tell the tale of bravery and gallantry
Building up to ramming speed
The power of God is ramming speed
Slaves to the King of Kings
And slaves to love
Steer the ship by the sweat
Of our brow and beat of the drum
Ramming speed
Building up to ramming speed
I bought the Stay of Execution album back in 1995 just because of this song. Awesome to the core. However, I always thought it should have been faster in bpm because of the name - ramming speed. You would think that this song was shredded at record speeds. However, despite the absence of real speed, the song and the message is awesome. I often sing this in the shower or when walking. Funniest thing is, I still remember the lyrics, as I lost the album in 2003, & haven't heard it since, until now.
