'deliver me O God'

From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me O God

From the need to be understood
From a need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

And I shall not want, I shall not want 
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

Audrey Assad

This song is so raw and honest and real. In life, there are so many fears or things desired as needs that have such a grip on us... 'the love of my own comfort', 'the fear of being lonely',  'the need to be understood and accepted.' But Audrey Assad paints this beautiful prayer of her desire in all of the fear and need.. for the Lord to deliver. And ohhh God... 'when I taste Your goodness I shall not want.' 

Let it be.
Amen!
