John Mark McMillan - Deliver Me lyrics
[John Mark McMillan - Deliver Me lyrics]
The sun is leaning on the darkness
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
I saw images of God reflected
Out upon the deep
By prehistoric stars through
Millennia of grief
Spiritless and haunted like
Some ex-carnate beast
Still I feel the ancient lights of
Heaven pressing down on me
When the day changes at midnight
But, you don't know it
Until the morning light
And the footsteps of the midwife
Are already in motion, and in motion we sing
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me, yeah
The sun is leaning on the darkness
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
We traded souls on the shoals of Babylon
When they brought yours down
To the floor, man
I was sure that mine was gone
But everything inside of me
Wanted somewhere to belong
But something deep inside my body screamed
That all of this was wrong
And the day changes at midnight
Still you don't know it
Until the morning light
And the footsteps of the midwife
Are already in motion, and in motion we sing
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my grieving, all my believing
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my grieving, all my believing
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
The sun is leaning on the darkness
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
Every human creature is a galaxy of thought
You could spend your life on one
And it wouldn't be for nought
Do you look at many people
But you see so very few?
From the disenchanted distance, it's
What desperate people do, yeah
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my grieving, all my believing
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
And the day changes at midnight
(All my grieving, all my believing)
Still you don't know it for another six hours
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
And the footsteps of the midwife
(All my grieving, all my believing)
Are already in motion, and in motion we sing
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me, yeah
The sun is leaning on the darkness
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
I saw images of God reflected
Out upon the deep
By prehistoric stars through
Millennia of grief
Spiritless and haunted like
Some ex-carnate beast
Still I feel the ancient lights of
Heaven pressing down on me
When the day changes at midnight
But, you don't know it
Until the morning light
And the footsteps of the midwife
Are already in motion, and in motion we sing
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me, yeah
The sun is leaning on the darkness
Again and we sing, "Oh, deliver me"
We traded souls on the shoals of Babylon
When they brought yours down
To the floor, man
I was sure that mine was gone
But everything inside of me
Wanted somewhere to belong
But something deep inside my body screamed
That all of this was wrong
And the day changes at midnight
Still you don't know it
Until the morning light
And the footsteps of the midwife
Are already in motion, and in motion we sing
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me
Oh, deliver me oh, deliver me
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my grieving, all my believing
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my grieving, all my believing
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
The sun is leaning on the darkness
