Deliver Us from the Elements

[Verse 1]

We can plant a seed and watch it grow

Food enough to fill a table

Running water down an overflow

Eat as much as we are able

[Pre-Chorus]

But would the fruit turn ripe

If the rains had never been?

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We, at Your mercy and Your reverence

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We've no defense, we are impotent

[Verse 2]

You can travel far to distant lands

Some, so hot, no man could bear

You can conquer peaks with winds of sand

Where Mother Nature didn't care

[Pre-Chorus]

Would not our world turn cold

If the sun refused to shine?

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We, at Your mercy and Your reverence

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We've no defense, we are impotent

[Bridge]

And when the world grows old

And we know more than our brains can hold

Nature will be law

Well, we're as helpless now as we've ever been before

[Pre-Chorus]

Would not our world turn cold

If the sun refused to shine?

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We, at Your mercy and Your reverence

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We've no defense, we are impotent

[Chorus]

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We, at Your mercy and Your reverence

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

We've no defense, we are impotent

[Outro]

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements

Oh Lord, deliver us from the elements
