Lyrics
Intro
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
Chorus
Lord
Deliver me
'Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Hurt me, yeah
Chorus
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)
Bridge
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
Outro
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

Meaning & Inspiration
This song combines a spoken word on healing with a sung prayer of release. The spoken opening cites "He restoreth my soul" and speaks about past hurt leaving "a hole in their soul," saying God wants to heal it. The sung prayer then asks "Deliver me," confessing "all I seem to do is hurt me."
The middle section includes a spoken paraphrase of 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If My people, who are called by My name," followed by a call to say the prayer aloud and a declaration that past pain will not control the future.
The closing refrain turns to thanks, with "This is my Exodus" repeated beside "Thank You Lord" as the singer says goodbye to the old self and hello to the new. The Exodus title draws on Israel's release from Egypt, and the song uses it as a picture of freedom from past pain. It reads as a prayer for healing and a declaration of release.
