New Songs of Praise and Power 1-2-3 Combined ‎#309

309. I’ve Been Delivered

1 Out of the power and darkness of sin,
Out of the pathway I have traveled in,
Out of the bondage by faith in His word,
I’ve been delivered from it all, praise the Lord.

Refrain:
I’ve been delivered, I’ve been delivered,
Out of the pit and the deep miry clay;
I’ve been delivered, I’ve been delivered
I’ve been delivered from it all, praise the Lord!

2 All of the sunshine, and all of the joy,
I thought was real, it was but alloy,
Out from the false lights along Satan’s shore,
I’ve been delivered to go back nevermore. [Refrain]

3 Once I was troubled, of what folks would say
If I should travel where I walk today;
Now I’m contented if I’m pleasing God,
I’ve been delivered from the path where I trod. [Refrain]

4 Once I would tremble if death called for me,
Once for the future no light could I see;
But when salvation removed death’s sharp sting,
I was delivered from it, now I can sing. [Refrain]
