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
Through a dry and thirsty land
water from the kenyan heights pours itself out of lake sangra's broken heart, it's 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 has written it upon the sky
He'll come 'round
he'll come 'round some day
(just like he said he would)
I will never doubt his promise
though i doubt my heart, though i doubt my eyes
my deliverer is coming
my deliverer is standing by
Standing by, oh he's standing by
deliver me, deliver me
