Exodus
Plus One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I get a hand today
The doors are closing
Can you make a plan of escape
My time has come
So won't you take the load
It starts to overflow,
It doesn't fit
So overbearing
I will try to scream
And hope that it will reach an open ear
You feel so far from here

[chorus]
Come on, come on my Lord
Deliver us
Come on, come on my Lord
Deliver us [1x]

A plague of doubt comes out
And rushes over me
I know that you're there but it's hard
Dealing with enemies
It's like the perfect crime
Where they don't do the time and walk away
Away with murder
I need your defense
I need you innocence to set me free
Can you hear me singing

[chorus]

Come on, come on my lord
Deliver us
Come on, come on my Lord
Deliver us [1x]

Speak your name
Hear you coming closer
Feel your touch
Bringing me back over
Speak your name
I hear you coming closer
Feel your touch
You're bringing me back over
To a place so safe, to a place so safe.

I'm alive now,
You came back for me
I can trust you,
You're all that I need
I'm alive now,
You came back for me
Lord, my Lord

[chorus]
Come on, come on my Lord
Deliver us




Come on, come on my Lord
Deliver us [4x]
