Though you have trusted other gods
In foreign lands beneath their rods,
And though you've bowed to things you've made
And cried to that which can't give aid,
From what you think will bring you ease
And worship long on bloodied knees
I have delivered, I have delivered you from these
E'en though my Name is naught to you,
Still I Faithfulness and True;
I give to you the gift of rest
Which you reject to be oppressed.
To all my promises hold fast
For I've been faithful in the past
And I deliver, and I deliver you at last.
Yet still you mock the old and wise
For they are foolish in your eyes,
And in your heart you love to hate
And kill the ones you celebrate.
So I will leave my throne on high
And by your hand your God will die;
See, your deliverance, see your deliverance is nigh.
When wanders your unfaithful heart
And from true love your life departs,
When what's not yours you still will take
And for your wants your needs forsake,
To save my love from the abyss,
Though you betray me with a kiss,
I have delivered, I have delivered you from this.
And when you want them to believe
That you are great, so you deceive,
When your own neighbor you can't bless
Because you think that you have less,
I will set free your heart anew
For I Faithfulness and True,
And so I still, and so I still deliver you.
I will set free your heart anew
For I Faithfulness and True,
And so I still, and so I still deliver you.
