Verse 1
Dear child, with in me, the Lord who created you,
Will guide you to safety when water you pass through.

Jesus is our Deliverer, Let us not fear,
Our work, performed together, remember He’s always near.

Verse 2
Dear child we’re blessed, as stewards we are new,
We hope to pass the test, of loving and teaching you.

To you our first example of faith in the Lord,
Our birth will be a sample of trusting in His Word

Verse 3
Dear child, we’re eager, our journey to complete,
From realms of our Father, awaiting you to greet.

The night of your birth, filled with joy and love,
In peace as you nurse, we’ll sing praise to God above.

Chorus
Deliverance is the promise, if His name we take upon,
Honor and glory are His, Israel’s Holy One.
