Jesus, deliver us from our selfishness
It's roots are twisting up into our hearts
Worst of all, there seems to be no cure for this
I feel my God, that I may come apart
The Jesus that we're shouting in our neighbors' face
Looks nothing the Jesus that you are
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying
So I am forever giving of my source
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
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying
So I am forever giving of my source
Take from me this weight that I could never bear
And I will follow you forevermore
Heavy is the soul that I've been carrying
So I am forever giving of my source
Take from me this weight that I could never bear
And I will follow you forevermore
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
