Analysis of Battle Deliverance
May the Lord answer you,
On the day of trouble;
On the path you pursue,
Pull you from the rubble.
May He send you the aid,
From the sanctuary;
Fear not nor be afraid,
When it comes in glory.
So may He remember,
All of your offerings;
Sacrificial ember,
All of your sufferings.
May He grant desire,
Fulfilling in your plan;
Wisdom you require,
Successful of its span.
May you shout for gladness,
Over your salvation;
Never feeling sadness,
For the tribulation.
I know that the Lord saves,
All who are anointed;
Rescuing from the graves,
Never disappointed.
Some put their trust in cars,
But we trust in the Lord;
And be His shining stars,
When you’re in one accord.
They collapse and they fall,
We rise and stand upright;
The Lord they do not call,
From darkness without light.
Please O Lord, save the king,
Please hear us when we call;
Allow not death to sting,
Pick him up from his fall.
