HE DELIVERS ME



Time after time, and day after day,

With patience, or force, if He must;

The Shepherd delivers His own to Himself,

With mercy so tender, yet just.



He'll not suffer His own to fall by the way,

And to utterly be cast aside;

But He'll seek to guide them back into the fold,

Where they can safely abide.



Though Satan may roar like a lion in a rage;

There's no reason for these sheep to fear.

Their Shepherd has promised deliverance -

One stronger than Satan is near!



He has delivered from hell; He'll deliver from sin'

He delivers from self and from pride;

And when my Shepherd returns to reign as a king,

He'll deliver me safe to His side!
