Audrey Assad's song is a prayer for deliverance from self-centered fears and worldly attachments. She asks God to free her from comfort, loneliness, and the need for approval, echoing the psalmist's trust in God's provision. The refrain 'I shall not want' reflects contentment found in experiencing God's goodness. The lyrics draw on themes of surrender and dependence, reminiscent of Psalm 23. The song gently guides listeners toward letting go of control and finding peace in God's presence.
From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me O God
From the need to be understood
From the need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God
And I shall not want, I shall not want
when I taste Your goodness I shall not want
when I taste Your goodness I shall not want
From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God
