Award-winning American gospel singer Donald Lawrence features one of the most popular, Le’Andria Johnson, on this hopeful song, “Deliver Me (This is my Exodus)”. She was the winner of season three on The BET, the gospel competition Sunday Best. The song was titled by her ” Deliver Me (This Is My Exodus)“. It was a song written composed by Donald Lawrence.
This is the latest album from Lawrence’s forthcoming album Goshen, celebrates a reunion of the former Tri-City Singers. The album marks the 25th anniversary of their adored debut album, A Singer’s Point of View; Lawrence continues to forge new paths in the music of Gospel as a prolific performer as a music director, songwriter and producer.
Donald Lawrence shares: “When a person becomes an ardent believer, the spirit is set right…however sometimes, the mind, soul or heart isn’t getting the message and can be in opposition towards the spiritual. Certain people’s actions aren’t due to their bad character; however, insecurity, abuse, depression, or other issues have created a gap within their hearts. However, God is here to restore, and He has restored souls. Sometimes, a person is the soul’s enemy; a gap in your soul could make you feel like you’re holding yourself in chains. This is a prayer to deliverance…God help me to free myself from myself. Your thinking is freed. Like God liberated the Israelites, You are now proclaiming, “This is My Exodus and being freed from the darkness of your history.”

Lyrics to Deliver me by Le’Andria Johnson
He leads me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
When you become a believer
Your spirit is made right
And sometimes, the soul doesn’t get the notice
It has a hole in it
Due to things that’s happened in the past
Hurt, abuse, molestation
But we wanna speak to you today and tell you
That God wants to heal the hole in your soul
Some people’s actions is not because their spirit is wrong
But it’s because the past has left a hole in their soul
May this wisdom help you get over your past
And remind you that God wants to heal the hole in your soul
I have my sister Le’Andria here
She’s gonna help me share this wisdom
And tell this story
Lord
Deliver me
‘Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Hurt me
Lord
Deliver me
‘Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Yes sir
Hurt me, yeah, yeah
I know we should be finishing but
Sing it for me two more times
Lord
Deliver me
‘Cause all I seem to do is hurt me
Ha-ha
Hurt me
One more time
Yeah
Lord
Oh
Deliver me
‘Cause all I seem to do is hurt me, yeah
Hurt me, yeah
Whoa yeah
(Whoa-whoa, oh, oh)
And my background said
(Whoa-whoa, Lord, deliver me)
Oh yeah
God rescued me from myself, from my overthinking
(Deliver me)
If you’re listening out there
Just repeat after me if you’re struggling with your past
And say it
(Oh, Lord oh)
Let the Lord know, just say it, oh
(Oh, Lord, Lord)
He wants to restore your soul
He said
(Deliver me)
Hey
If My people, who are called by My name
Will move themselves and pray
(Deliver me)
Seek my face, turn from their wicked ways
I will hear from Heaven
Break it on down
So it is
It is so
Amen
Now when we pray
We wanna end that with a declaration, a decree
So I’m speaking for all of you listening
Starting here, starting now
The things that hurt you in the past won’t control your future
Starting now, this is a new day
This is your exodus, you are officially released
Now sing it for me Le’Andria
(This is my Exodus)
Yeah
(This is my Exodus)
I’m saying goodbye
(This is my Exodus)
To the old me, yeah
(This is my Exodus)
Oh, oh, oh
(Thank You Lord)
And I’m saying hello
(Thank You Lord)
To the brand new me, yeah
(Thank You Lord)
Hey, hey, hey-yeah
This is
(This is my Exodus)
I declare it
(This is my Exodus)
And I decree
(This is my Exodus)
Hey this is, this day, this day is why I thank You Lord
(This is my Exodus)
