Jesus deliver us from our selfishness its roots are twisting up into our hearts and worst of all there seems to be no cure for this i fear my God that i may come apart the Jesus that we're shouting in our neighbor's face looks nothing like the Jesus that you are heavy is this soul that i've been carrying so i'm forever giving up my sword take from me this weight that i could never bear and i will follow you forevermore Jesus deliver us from our flags and oaths the things that we believe will set us free the fabric, country, system or a man and his land i'm afraid these things get no respect from me Jesus deliver us from our raging pride the things that we say we do in your name with all our vengeance, votes and picket signs and guns we put the love you came to bring to shame
