Come On In 03:45
To all my brothers beat to hell Who ain’t got a clue when the storm’ll end Listen up boys Hear what I say There’s a whole lot of peace Down past the water’s edge Come on in Come on in son To all my sisters whose backs are sore Who ain’t had a day off since they were born Let me tell you what I know You can find rest for your worn out bones Come on in Come on in yall Come on in Oohh the river is calling Oohh she knows your name Oohh can you hear her? Oohh round here they call her Grace To all you yunggens bored to death Who can’t stop dreaming of leaving town No matter where you run to Cuz I ran real far You’ll always be searching for a glassed lake heart Come on in Come on in kid

This cute little Catalan girl sipping rich folks coffee Said what’s all the fuss about them lines on your arm She ain’t had sweet tea Nor will she ever feel what I got burning in my heart So I took a walk down my Papaw’s campground Thinking about why it’s so special to me It’s a feeling as old as David Humming a sweet tune with his lover in his arms If I leave her tonight In the morning she’s still on my mind No matter where I lay my head No matter where I spend my nights There’s something right about a Mississippi life So I told her about southern sunsets And Sunday mornings in Jesus’ name Running barefoot round the front porch With Meemaw singing I’m gonna fly away

Tears burnt up in the sun Ain’t felt a breeze for some time Hope just a word The well had long been bone dry That’s where He found, found me A-blazed on the road Right then the rain set in Face fresh up off the ground Let’s get you fed, full and clean It’s been a long time coming Lay to rest starry head That’s where He pulled, pulled me Out of the mud Right then He cleaned, cleaned up All of the blood Down by the river Pass the time skint up knees Grateful for changes He’s made I’m alive and redeemed Only because of His grace I swear He loves, loves you More than you know Yes He will wait for you He wants you back home Down by the River

Born an orphan happy birthday Writhing and reeling, custody of the state You’re flesh to own Bred to believe all will desert you Needing to talk when there’s no one to talk to Your heart's a stone Heavy and cold but won’t be thrown Looking for a home from some distant dream But it found you and called you family You don’t know what to feel You tell yourself that you’re lost But it is real No matter where you go Or what you do Or have done There’s a home for everyone A tough tongued boy barely 10 Knocked around from henhouse to pen Like some forgotten song The pain has grown but not for long Left them all not expecting to fall Wanting to run when there’s no one to run to An extended loan Being gnawed away on and it eats to the bone No matter where you go Or what you do Or have done There’s a home for everyone No matter how slow It may take To get to We all gotta get home Born an orphan happy birthday

I’ve played the game so long Man I feel like an old dog Burying bones in the yard Ain’t nothing changed It always ends the same Digging solo in the rain I’ve met all kinds of bones I’ve been all over the world But I end up alone Time for another hole The wheel keeps on turning It never slows ‘Til that stormy day The leaves began to change
 I saw her face For the very first time I never will forget that look in her eyes Not a word was said when we realized We’d waited all our lives to both believe There’s someone just for me After all this time It still feels like the old days He’s still enough for me He’s all I’ll ever need I wouldn’t change a thing I’d do it all again I never will forget that look in his eyes Not a word was said when we realized We’d waited all our lives to both believe There’s someone just for me I've found the one for me
7.
Glory Land 03:00
Everybody wants to rise Everybody wants to rise Everybody wants to rise But ain’t nobody ready to die Look at our fancy things Look at our fancy things Look at our fancy things But tell me what the hell do they bring There’s a whole lot of kids Who ain’t got nothing to eat We keep turning our heads Pretending we don’t see Let’s stop stacking up our gold And lend more of a hand Cuz all these mansions we own Will be left in the sand When we board the boat to Glory Land
8.
Let Her Be 03:58
As a man I always wanna put things right But it beats me down to dust When all I can do is watch her cry Through our struggles on the road The boss man upstairs hears us So when life turns stone cold I do the only thing I know I hit my knees Please don’t take her from me Why’s she gotta leave Oh God just let her be It’s in these moments we find out Just what we do believe And when our hands are tied We fall down begging please please
9.
Wandering in darkness Hand in hand with my shame Roaming to nowhere Too weak to fight off the pain That’s where You met me Naked on the side of the road You scrubbed off the old filth And carried me all the way home Your grace restores my life And makes me new You are my redeemer Your love invades my heart And frees my soul You are my deliverer Oh my God come and help me  For I've trespassed where I don't belong I am poor and I'm needy Desperate for the peace of Your song And that’s when I heard it A melody so sweet and clear It was the voice of my savior Wiping away every tear      Your hope will pierce through the darkness And rescue the weak and the helpless We live to shine your light Your peace brings rest to the burdened And redeems the lost and the broken We live to shine your light
10.
Here we are Singing songs about the day We’ll all float up to see those pearly gates Better hose us off We’re all from muddy Mississippi We don’t wanna dirty up the streets of gold Take us home We’ve been roaming way too long We all wanna hear the angels sing their song Take us home Take us home Take us home

about

Songs of Deliverance was recorded in an old cabin beside a lake on the outskirts of Magee, Mississippi. It tells the story of a man discovering profound peace on this dirty road of life.
