[VERSE 1]  

You wouldn?t let me stay a captive  

You couldn?t stand to see my chains  

And so You came to be my rescue  

To part the waters in my way  

  

[CHORUS] 

Jesus, You are my deliverance  

From death to life  

From dark to light  

Jesus, You show me what freedom is  

You call my name  

You broke my shame  

You are my deliverance  

  

[VERSE 2]  

You wouldn?t let me stay in judgment  

You took the wrath that I deserved  

Your outstretched arms became my rescue  

Your blood has told me what I?m worth  

  

[BRIDGE]  

Your love defeated the enemy  

Your love defeated the enemy  

Now there is victory ahead of me  

There?s no looking back  

No looking back
