Audrey Assad's song 'Deliverer' reflects on God's gentle, non-coercive nature and His role as a liberator. The lyrics contrast human possessiveness with God's respectful love, emphasizing freedom and mercy. Assad sings of God dwelling within yet being beyond containment, and of God preaching hope in the ruins of the heart, revealing more than one can ask or imagine. The repeated refrain 'You're my deliverer' affirms trust in God's faithful rescue. The song draws on themes of God's character as loving and freeing, resonating with biblical ideas of deliverance and the Beatitudes.

Submit Lyrics

You are not possessive, You respect all things

You are not invasive, You have no envy

You are not insistent, You do not force me

You are not controlling, You make me free indeed

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

Your law is freedom and mercy is Your rule

Though You dwell within me, I can't contain You

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

In the ruins of my heart, You preach to the poor

Turning over stones to show me there is more

More than all I ask, more than I'm looking for

In the ruins of my heart

In the ruins of my heart, You preach to the poor

Turning over stones to show me there is more

More than all I ask, more than I'm looking for

In the ruins of my heart

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by

You're my deliverer

You won't pass me by
