"Every Little Prison ( Deliver Me )"

 "Every Little Prison  ( Deliver Me )"

Matt Maher


From wanting to be loved, from wanting to be praised by all

From needing to be first, from finding all my worth in this world

From wanting to be seen, from constant worrying about myself

Deliver me

From validating words that only seem to sever a heart that's proud

And all my self esteem, dressed up in vanity and doubt

From wondering if I am relevant and liked, oh God

Deliver me, deliver me


Show me what it all looks like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

Riddled through the ages till we see the light

Breaking all the cages wide open

Every little prison


From fear of letting go, from fear of the unknown ahead

From being overlooked and so misunderstood again

From fear of being judged, from rumors of a love that fails

Deliver me, deliver me


Show me what it all looks like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

Riddled through the ages till we see the light

Breaking all the cages wide open

Every little prison


Let every man be more than I

Closer to the truth when I'm set aside

Mostly of no use, but when I fall, I fly

Breaking cages wide open 

All these little prison 


Show me what it all looks like

Scribbled on the pages of a human life

Riddled through the ages till we see the light

Breaking all the cages wide open

Every little prison

Bible Verses

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.   1  You have searched me,  Lord ,      and you know me.   2  You know when I sit and when I rise;      you perceive my thoughts from afar.   3  You discern my going out and my lying down;      you are familiar with all my ways.   4  Before a word is on my tongue      you,  Lord , know it completely.   5  You hem me in behind and before,      and you lay your hand upon me.   6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,      too lofty for me to attain.   7  Where can I go from your Spirit?      Where can I flee from your presence?   8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there;      if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.   9  If I rise on the ...
