The day of deliverance

Feeling the weight of his sins on his shoulders
Carrying the burden of guilt in his chest
Held captive and blindfolded by his darkened life
Not knowing where to turn in this strife

..then he heard
a voice wispered "Ask, and it shall be given"
a voice said "Seek, and ye shall find"
a voice shouted "Knock, and I will open"
"I will give you my peace of mind"

suffering from horrific diseases
bleeding from his open wounds
soul and body in severe decay
where is the remedy for all his pain

then the Shepherd came and rose him, he who was cast down
the Saviour came and freed him, he who was chained
the Master came and healed him, he who was beaten
Jesus gave him life, he who was dead

.. For he was
Aching, craving, and praying for the day of salvation
Hurting, yearning and searching for the day of deliverance

surely he took our infirmities and carried our sorrows
pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniqiuties
he took our punishment so we might have peace
and through his stripes we are healed

..he had heared
a voice wispered "Ask, and it shall be given"
a voice said "Seek, and ye shall find"
a voice shouted "Knock, and I will open"
"I will give you my peace of mind"

ye, the Shepherd came and rose him, he who was cast down
the Saviour came and freed him, he who was chained
the Master came and healed him, he who was beaten
Jesus gave him life, he who was dead

..He had been
Aching, craving, and praying for the day of salvation
Hurting, yearning and searching for the day of deliverance
