my deliverer

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

- Joel 2:32

 

It’s been a little while since I have had a song reference, and I thought this verse warranted an oldie but goodie:

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

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

Through a dry and thirsty land

Water from the Kenyon 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

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

He will never break His promise

He has written it upon the sky

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

I will never doubt His promise

Though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

He will never break his promise

Though the stars should break faith with the sky

My deliverer is comin', my deliverer is standin' by

We often find ourselves in situations that are so devastating, so horrible that all we can do is drop to our knees and pray for relief.

Our deliverer, Christ Jesus is coming, He is coming because He said He would be back, He doesn’t break promises.

We may not see it when we are trying to dig our way out of our holes, but we are not alone, He is there.

He is coming back.

Our deliverer is coming.
