Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa To escape the rage of a deadly king There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song That the captive children used to sing They were singin' My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by Through a dry and thirsty land, water from the Kenyon heights Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart There in the Sahara winds Jesus heard the whole world cry For the healing that would flow from His own scars The world was singing My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by He will never break His promise, He has written it upon the sky My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with the sky My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by My Deliverer is coming
