Joseph took his wife and child

And they went to africa

To escape the rage of a deadly king

There along the banks of the nile

They listened to the song

That the captive children used to sing

They were singing...



(chorus)

My deliverer is coming

My deliverer is standing by

Oh, my deliverer is coming

My deliverer is standing by



Through a dry and thirsty land

Water from the kenyan heights

Pours itself out of lake sangra's

Broken heart, its broken heart

There in the sahara winds

Moses heard the whole world cry

For the healing that would

Flow from god's own scars

I hear moses singing



(repeat chorus)



He will never break his promise

He was written it upon the sky

My deliverer is coming

Oh, my deliverer is standing by



He'll come 'round

He'll come 'round some day

(just like he said he would)

(repeat 2x)



I will never doubt his promise

Though i doubt my heart

Though i doubt my eyes





(repeat chorus)



Standing by, oh he's standing by [5x]



Oh, deliver me, deliver me
