Lyrics to Hold Back the Flood:

Deliver me from evil ; and apreserve me, from myself

The traps are laid, the words are said, and the waters rise

Your hands O Lord can save me

From the hands of those who surround

Within and without

I've no strength for the fight

While my life is going down

Turn back the waters

Send them away

Guard me from evil

And hear when I pray

Hold back the flood

Hold back the flood

Hold back the flood

Hold back the flood

You covered my head

You covered my sin

In the day of battle, Your mercy wins.

You carried the cross, for the poor and afflicted,

To bring justice for the needy,

And straighten the twisted

Turn back the waters

Send them away

Guard me from evil

Lord. hear when I pray

Hold back the flood

Hold back the flood

Hold back the flood Hold back the flood
