You’ve heard the story of Paul and Silas
How they were bound and thrown into jail
They did not worry, they kept on praying
They were serving a God that cannot fail
Then after midnight God sent and earthquake
The whole foundation began to shake
Those prison doors flew open wide
Then Paul and Silus stepped inside
Chorus
He will deliver me in my time of need
Like those Hebrew children, from the fire he’ll breathe
Like He fed 5000 thousand with two fishes and bread
And he walked on the water, and he raised the dead
Well he stood by Daniel in the lion’s den
And he saved old Moses, from Pharaohs men
Open the eyes of the blind to see
I know that He’ll deliver me
Well it was David my God delivered when before Goliath He did stand
He took no armor, He took no weapons
Just five stones and a sling in his hand
Then he went running to meet that army
He met that Philistine man, that stood mighty and tall
He said I come in the name of the Lord
And you know that mighty man did fall
Chorus
He will deliver me in my time of need
Like those Hebrew children, from the fire he’ll breathe
Like he fed 5000 thousand with two fishes and bread
And he walked on the water
And he raised the dead
Well he stood by Daniel in the lion’s den
And he saved old Moses, from Pharaohs men
Opened the eyes of the blind to see
I know that He’ll deliver me I know that He’ll deliver me
I know that He’ll deliver… He will deliver you I know that He’ll deliver me
