[Verse 1]
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 singing

[Chorus]
My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by

[Verse 2]
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 come from his own scars
The world was singing

[Chorus]
My Deliverer is comin'
My Deliverer is standing by
My Deliverer is comin'
My Deliverer is standing by
[Post-Chorus]
He will never break his promise
He has written it upon the sky

[Chorus]
My Deliverer is coming
My Deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by

[Post-Chorus]
I will never doubt his promise
Though I doubt my heart, though I doubt my eyes

[Chorus]
(My deliverer is comin') My deliverer
(My deliverer is standing by) Oh
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by

[Post-Chorus]
He will never break his promise
Though the stars should break faith with the sky
[Chorus]
(My deliverer is comin') My deliverer
(My deliverer is standing by)
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is comin'
My deliverer is standing by
