Donald Lawrence - Deliver Me (This is My Exodus) Lyrics
Lyrics
He leads me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
When you become a believer
Your spirit is made right
And sometimes, the soul doesn't get the notice
It has a hole in it
Due to things that's happened in the past
Hurt, abuse, molestation
But we wanna speak to you today and tell you
That God wants to heal the hole in your soul
Some people's actions is not because their spirit is wrong
But it's because the past has left a hole in their soul
May this wisdom help you get over your past
And remind you that God wants to heal the hole in your soul
I have my sister Le'Andria here
She's gonna help me share this wisdom
And tell this story
Lord
Deliver me
'Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Hurt me, yeah
Lord
Deliver me
'Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Yes sir
Hurt me, yeah, yeah (I know we should be finishing but)
Sing it for me two more times
Lord
Deliver me
'Cause all I seem to do is
Hurt me
Hurt me (One more time)
Yeah, Lord
Deliver me
'Cause all I seem to do is hurt me, yeah
Hurt me, yeah
Whoa, yeah
And my background said
(Whoa-whoa, Lord, deliver me)
God rescued me from myself, from my overthinking
(Deliver me)
If you're listening out there
Just repeat after me if you're struggling with your past and say it
(Oh, Lord oh)
Let the Lord know, just say it, oh
(Oh, Lord, Lord) He wants to restore your soul
He said
(Deliver me) Hey
If My people, who are called by My name
Will move themselves and pray (Deliver me)
Seek my face, turn from their wicked ways
I will hear from Heaven
Break it on down
So it is, it is so, Amen
Now when we pray
We wanna end that with a declaration, a decree
So I'm speaking for all of you listening
Starting here, starting now
The things that hurt you in the past won't control your future
Starting now, this is a new day
This is your exodus, you are officially released
Now sing it for me Le'Andria
I'm saying goodbye
(This is my Exodus) To the old me, yeah
(This is my Exodus) Oh, oh, oh
(Thank You Lord) And I'm saying hello
(Thank You Lord) To the brand new me, yeah
(Thank You Lord) Hey, hey, hey-yeah
This is
(This is my Exodus) I declare it
(This is my Exodus) And I decree
(This is my Exodus)
Hey this is, this day, this day is why I thank You Lord (This is my Exodus)
(Thank You Lord) Around
(Thank You Lord) For you and for me
(Thank You Lord) Yeah-hey-hey-yeah
Now, Lord God
(This is my Exodus) Now Lord God
(This is my Exodus) The things sent to break me down
(This is my Exodus) Yeah, hey, (Thank You Lord)
(Thank You Lord) Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, hey-yeah
Every weapon
(Thank You Lord) God, You, You, You to me, there for me

Deliver Me (This Is My Exodus)
Meaning & Inspiration
Donald Lawrence’s "Deliver Me (This Is My Exodus)," released on August 9, 2019, is a powerful declaration of spiritual liberation, resonating deeply with anyone yearning for freedom from oppressive circumstances. The song’s title itself evokes the monumental biblical narrative of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, a story of God’s intervention to rescue His people from slavery and guide them toward a promised land. This, in essence, is the core message Lawrence conveys: a plea for divine intervention to break the chains of personal bondage, be it sin, doubt, fear, or any other affliction that hinders spiritual progress. The song speaks to the universal human experience of feeling trapped, mirroring the desperation of Moses facing Pharaoh and the Israelites trapped between the Red Sea and the pursuing Egyptian army. Lawrence articulates a profound trust in God’s power to perform mighty acts of deliverance, just as He parted the Red Sea for His people. This unwavering faith is reminiscent of passages like Isaiah 43:2, which assures, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you." The artist’s heartfelt appeal for God to “deliver me” is not a passive wish, but an active acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and His desire to see His children walk in freedom, as promised in John 8:36: "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." The song’s unyielding focus on the transformative power of divine intervention makes it a resonant anthem for those seeking a spiritual exodus, a personal journey from a place of confinement to a state of God-given liberty and purpose.
