The Lilies of the Covenant is a mixture of two songs: “Deliver us”, a prayer-song inspired by Psalm 80 and “Consumed”, created during a spontaneous time of worship.
lyrics
Deliver us from the death of our hearts
Deliver us from the foulness of our minds
Take us from the grave
Set your truth in us
‘cause we trust in your unfailing love
Deliver us from the chains of sorrow and despair
Deliver us from those who lie to every flesh
Cover them with shame
Let them know your name
They’ve destroyed with their poisoned words
Restore me, look down from the heavens
Watch over this vine, you planted with your hand;
this son of yours.
Save me, you’re the Lord Almighty
Shine your face upon me, look with favor on me
Oh, now I feel…
Your eyes consuming me
They look deep in my soul
and I have been set free
it felt like dying but your voice
called me to life
I’ve been awaken by the fire of your love
