Analysis of PLEASE DELIVER
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
I'm in the fire, I can't see
What You're purifying in me
So much pain, such a trial
Trudging mile after mile
My trials, Lord, are a River
I call out, Lord please deliver
I've seen the path of pain
Trial that leaves nothing to gain
Jesus I call out to you now
As all my enemies growl
Yes my fear causes me to shiver
I call out, Lord please deliver
I've run the race, Lord to win
I've laid to the Cross my sin
Yet the hits keep on coming
The drummers keep drumming
The Devil's shot his entire quiver
I call out, Lord please deliver
I can't go on, Jesus I'm tired
In the muck I'm truly mired
But you are still my Holy Light
I will follow through this night
My trials are a mighty river
I call out, Lord please deliver
Amen
