YOU HAVE DELIVERED ME ‘CAUSE YOU DELIGHT IN ME
You are my Rock, my only security
You come and light my way when I call Your Name
You raised me up from the wreckage
You pulled me from the seas
Took me from the hand of the enemy
You set the earth’s foundation, You call the stars by name
You shield me with salvation, stole my heart away
Where else could we go? We come alive in You
We believe and know You are the Holy One
