I was a drifter, I had nowhere to go
I was hanging by threads of dust and bone
Every angel I knew was singing son come home
But the melody was hard to sing along
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
I was on trial for everything I did
And there�??s no way I could make a stand and win
When you realize the verdict is already in
You let go of the brokenness within
Well there�??s only One who can ever stand and win
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
And now I�??m like a child at night
Who never has to think of why
We�??re free to love and live and die
And there�??s no need to justify
The sinner that�??s inside of me
Has lost all his control of me
My God, from the flood and from the fire
You brought me out, I am alive
With a faith, just like a child
I�??m not afraid, I�??m running wild
For everything that will be done
I am yours and you are my
Deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
Oh God, You�??re my deliverer
The One, the One who carries us
God, You�??re my deliverer
I was hanging by threads of dust and bone
