[Verse 1]
      Dm         F            Dm            A7
Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile
      Dm              F                Bb   C
Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand
      Dm            F             Dm                       A7
Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound
      Dm              F               Bb        C
Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land


[Chorus]
   Dm          F
Deliver us, deliver us
    Bb               A7
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
      Gm         C                Dm
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

[Verse 2]
      Dm                F            Dm                A7
Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay
      Dm                F                 Bb   C
Our shackles they were made with our own hands
     Dm           F                Dm               A7
Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give
     Gm                F              Bb C
So Yahweh, break this silence if you can


[Chorus]
   Dm          F
Deliver us, deliver us
    Bb               A7
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
      Gm         F                Bb       C
And gather us beneath your wings tonight


[Chorus]
   Dm           F
Deliver us, deliver us
     Bb              A7
Oh Yahweh, hear our cry
     Gm           C                Dm
And gather us beneath your wings tonight

[Outro]
    Dm          F
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem
     Bb           A7
How often I have longed
    Gm           C               Dm   C   Bb A Dm
To gather you beneath my gentle wings
