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
