(Instrumentation Note: Heavy, driving kick drum beat throughout. Electric violin provides a high-tension, slightly dissonant melodic layer in the verses, shifting to sweeping, urgent chords in the chorus.)Verse 1 (4/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: Low, fast, spoken-word intensity, building tension) Abba Father, the sun is a lie, but I'm still breathing A perfect amazing day, yet the world is deceiving You bound me to your core, so I won't drift or become corrupted The light in my eyes, the truth interrupted, but never ruptured. Thank you for the wisdom, the insight that can only come from YOU The daily provision, the strength to see the nightmare through. Pre-Chorus (4/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: Rising intensity, strained and urgent) They lay the snares, the evil serpent and his masquerade Out to deceive the world in the shadows they have made. But you ripped the blindfold, I see the lies clearly and quickly Don't let me be taken captive, bring me to your glory! Chorus (Alternating 4/4 and 3/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: RAW, AGGRESSIVE SHOUT) (4/4) DELIVER ME! Lead me not to temptation! (3/4) Into the glorious presence! (4/4) Where there's laughter and smiling and J-O-Y! (3/4) I NEED this joy! (4/4) Bring me into complete and total joy in the knowledge of the Son! (3/4) A piece of heaven deposited until the great day is WON! Verse 2 (4/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: Retreating to a soft, almost whispering tone, but still intense) I walk clear in your light, I shall have no fear whatsoever. The unexplainable joy refuses to depart, it will last forever. Let it overflow, flood the lives of those who know him, May my spirit be lifted to praise you, from the darkest rim. Make me a proud son, not of self, but proud of his Father in Heaven Give me a glimpse of what's to come, make the uneven even. Bridge (4/4 Time - Violin Solo: Chaotic and expressive; Kick Drum: Double-time pace) Touch me now, never the same, The King of the Gentiles, shouting your name! Taste of heaven, longing for the reckoning! A spirit lifted, your glory beckoning! Chorus (Alternating 4/4 and 3/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: Full, unyielding AGGRESSIVE SHOUT) (4/4) DELIVER ME! Lead me not to temptation! (3/4) Into the glorious presence! (4/4) Where there's laughter and smiling and J-O-Y! (3/4) I NEED this joy! (4/4) Bring me into complete and total joy in the knowledge of the Son! (3/4) A piece of heaven deposited until the great day is WON! Outro (4/4 Time - Vocal Delivery: Final, echoing yell fading into a whisper) ...AMEN.
