Devotion for Song 9: “Deliver Us from Evil”

Scripture: Matthew 6:13 – “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Reflection:

“Deliver us from evil” is a powerful request for God’s protection and liberation. It’s an acknowledgment of the real and present dangers that the evil one represents in our lives. This part of the Lord’s Prayer is a recognition that we live in a world where spiritual battles are a constant reality, and it’s a plea for divine intervention and safeguarding.

Deliverance from evil is not just about being saved from external harms; it’s also about being freed from the internal chains that bind us—hatred, jealousy, bitterness, greed, and more. This prayer is a cry for holistic salvation, encompassing body, mind, and spirit. It’s a declaration of our trust in God’s power to save and our dependence on Him for our security and well-being.

Application:

Consider the areas in your life where you feel most besieged by evil. It could be temptations, harmful relationships, destructive habits, or negative thoughts. Identify these and bring them before God, asking for His deliverance and protection.

Be vigilant in your spiritual life. Regularly engage in activities that fortify your faith—prayer, reading Scripture, worship, and fellowship with other believers. Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil.

Prayer:

Lord, deliver us from evil. Shield us from the deceptions and attacks of the evil one. Break the chains that hold us captive to sin and set us free by Your mighty power. Be our fortress and refuge, our unyielding defender in the face of darkness. Keep us safe in Your loving arms, and lead us on the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Amen.

This devotion invites you to actively seek God’s deliverance and protection in your life. It’s a reminder of the spiritual warfare we are engaged in and the victory that is ours through Christ. As you seek God’s deliverance, may you experience His power and peace in every aspect of your life.

Lyrics

Deliver Us from Evil

Verse 1:

In the shadows that surround, Evil whispers, subtle sound,
But Your power, Lord, is greater, You are our strong liberator.
In the battles that we face, You provide Your saving grace,
Evil flees at Your command, In Your shelter, we will stand.

Chorus:

Deliver us from evil, Lord,
With Your mighty, two-edged sword.
Guard our hearts and minds in You,
In Your strength, we’ll be renewed.

Verse 2:

Darkness trembles at Your light, In Your presence, takes its flight,
No foe too strong, no night too dark, You are our everlasting spark.
Through the valley, You’re our guide, In Your wings, we will hide,
Evil cannot stand Your name, Jesus, evermore the same.

Chorus:

Deliver us from evil, Lord,
With Your mighty, two-edged sword.
Guard our hearts and minds in You,
In Your strength, we’ll be renewed.

Bridge:

Greater is He that is in us,
Than he who’s in the world, thus,
We declare our victory,
In Your name, we are free.

Chorus:

Deliver us from evil, Lord,
With Your mighty, two-edged sword.
Guard our hearts and minds in You,
In Your strength, we’ll be renewed.

Outro:

In Your promise, we’ll abide,
With Your armor by our side,
Deliver us from every snare,
Under Your wings, we’re in Your care.
