Burst

Delivered from manacles
     and roaring chariot wheels,
          cruelty fast on fleeing heels...
Deborah and Barack,
     looking up in awe,
          could not help but burst
               out into song of great praise.

Delivered from generations
     of giant enemies and swords,
          revenge for the past on parade...
A weary King David,
     speaking out in awe,
          could not help but burst
               out into a long song of honor.

Delivered from our sin,
     a dark bondage we could
          not on our own be saved from...
We willingly trade
     for an awesome forever
          in Him, unable to but burst
               out into songs of holy worship.

Delivered from judgement,
     the seven bowls of God’s wrath,
          spared the hell about to be poured...
God's very own,
     awed by His mercy,
          we cannot help but burst
               out in one last song of gratitude.

Throughout our history,
     God's gracious salvation,
          time and time and time again...
Has caused His people,
     left in the greatest of awe,
          into singing songs to so burst
               out into singing songs for eternity.
