Good Friday.

[elisi]

At this afternoon's service, I suddenly remembered The Jesus Record by Rich Mullins, which I bought *years* ago, loved dearly, and then lost in one of our house moves. My favourite song was always 'My Deliverer' (it's just so beautiful), so I went looking for it, wanting to share. Unfortunately the only version of it that I could hunt down was a (well intentioned, but cringe worthy) youtube video, so I did some downloading and converting and uploading, and here you are:

My Deliverer by Rich Mullins and a Ragamuffin Band (mp3, 5.64MB) (Album available on iTunes)


My Deliverer
Joseph took his wife and her child
And they went to Africa
To escape the rage of a deadly King
There along the banks of the Nile
Jesus listened to the song
That the captive children used to sing
They were singin'

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by (x2)

Through a dry and thirsty land
Water from the Kenyan heights
Pours itself out of lake Sangra's broken heart
There in the Sahara winds
Jesus heard the whole world cry
For the healin' that would flow from His own scars
The world was singin'

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by (x2)
He will never break His promise
He has written it upon the sky

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by (x3)
I will never doubt His promise
Though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by (x3)
He will never break his promise
Though the stars should break faith with the sky

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by (x7)
