Deliver Us Soon

There was a fight on Corros Fields

The One rode with us to glory

There was a strength in Braide Wood

Where the One was weaving his story.

There was a passion in Rendor

To let loose the Verses' song

There was a tower tall in Lyric

Wherein we all belong.

And so we run, and so we run

But sick and weakened we may fall;

And so we weary turn to the One

Who hearkens us to hear His call.

Hear us!  Hear us! One Eternal, hear us!

Draw us into your arms, come near us

We need Your redeeming hand

To heal our weary hearts, our land

Deliver us! You alone know our fate.

Deliver us! O Deliverer, we wait.

There is a sorrow on Corros Fields

That makes the rain seem like tears

There is a sadness in Braide Wood

Where it seems like no one hears.

There is an anguish in Rendor

Like dusk on a hurting soul

There is a lingering fear in Lyric

Like the world is out of control.

And so we run, and so we run

But there is no flight from sorrow

And with tears we turn to the One

Who sees the uncertain tomorrow.

Hear us!  Hear us! One Eternal, hear us!

Draw us into your arms, come near us

We cry out for Your redeeming hand

To heal our hurts, our wounds, our land

Deliver us!  Our time of trial is at noon

Deliver us!  O Deliverer—come soon.
