Deliverance

Strahan's song 'Deliverance' is a profound exploration of spiritual renewal and transformation. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery that convey a deep sense of divine love and redemption. The opening lines, 'Your love is a flood and I swim deep when the tide is up,' suggest an overwhelming and immersive experience of divine love. The flood metaphor indicates a powerful, all-encompassing force that engulfs the singer, symbolizing the transformative power of spiritual awakening.

The recurring theme of being made a 'child of God' underscores a sense of rebirth and new identity. The line 'My feet on the ground and my heart in heaven' beautifully captures the duality of living a grounded, earthly life while being spiritually elevated. This duality is further emphasized with the metaphor 'I am bread made without the leaven,' which alludes to purity and being set apart for a divine purpose. The imagery of bread without leaven is a biblical reference, often symbolizing purity and holiness.

The song also touches on themes of forgiveness and mental renewal. 'I lay in the sand with sweet forgiveness in my hand' portrays forgiveness as a tangible, precious gift. The line 'Your water floods my brain this grey cranium won't be the same' suggests a cleansing and renewing of the mind, indicating a profound internal change. The closing lines, 'And I won’t go until I know that You have sown all You have in me,' reflect a deep commitment to spiritual growth and a desire to fully realize one's divine potential.
