Lyrics

DELIVER ME
Music & Lyrics - Peter Eldridge


It's been said to find the kingdom of heaven
You must become like a child and start all over again
But I don't feel like a child no more
I guess I've seen way too much to be who I was before

I don't know who to trust or what to believe
How come the powerful ones got all those tricks up their sleeve
I'm hungry for truth, looking for some living proof
Something that makes sense to me

(Chorus)
Please deliver me cuz I'm falling
Please remember me, hear me calling
I keep looking round and wondering why
Sometimes you seem so hard to find
And I fall behind
I keep falling behind

I look inside, I look around me for grace
Search for soul and compassion
Put a spirit to the face
Is it just being human, to keep hoping for the best
And always coming up short and settling for less

I don't mean no disrespect
But is there anything I can expect
Trying to sift my way through what I can and what I cannot accept
Do all these questions separate me from you
Or do they come straight from you?
Leading me to what's true

(Chorus)

Trying to be true to you and true to myself
Somewhere between standing proud and screaming for help
I think the best I can do is to keep hoping in you
And hope that you believe in me
With your mercy

Deliver Me
Remember Me . . . .
