Born into this world with my own desires to only please myself
I am Adam’s son, sin runs in my blood, my guilt it takes over me
Fallen faster now, oh God hold me still
This world won’t take me in, I can’t save myself
And I don’t need another remedy
Or just another empty song to sing
So give me truth, give me love,
I don’t need just a fix, I need deliverance
Oh my cursed hands led me to this place, to myself I am enslaved
With this ball and chain, captive in my shame, oh release me from this pain
Fallen faster now, oh God hold me still
This world won’t take me in, I can’t save myself
And I don’t need another remedy
Or just another empty song to sing
So give me truth, give me love
I don’t need just a fix, oh I need deliverance
Oh! Oh, and I don’t need another remedy
Or just another empty song to sing
So give me truth, give me love
I don’t need just a fix
Oh, and I don’t need another remedy
Or just another empty song to sing
So give me truth, give me love
I don’t need just a fix, oh I need deliverance
Oh I need deliverance
