No matter what happens to you in this life always remember that your deliverer is coming!

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;break forth into joyous song and sing praises!5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,with the lyre and the sound of melody!6 With trumpets and the sound of the hornmake a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! Psalm 98: 4-6

Rich Mullins was killed in a traffic accident on Interstate 39 in north central Illinois. They were driving a Jeep with both men being ejected. Rich Mullin was immediately struck by a tractor-trailer and was killed instantly.

 He was a graduate of Friends University with a strong but humble Christian faith. The music industry considered him a premier musical artist, but Rich preferred anonymity over accolades.

 By the end of his life Mullins had recorded nine albums and had more than 50 hit records in his career, which began in the early 1980s. Rich Mullins wrote the song 'Praise to the Lord,' became one of Amy Grant's biggest hits. Between writing, recording and touring, Mullins completed a degree in 1995 from Friends University in music education. After graduating, he moved to the Navajo reservation near Window Rock, Ariz., teaching music to children on the reservation. In honor of this talented musician who loved Jesus with all of his heart, I wanted to pay tribute by posting this song and lyrics.

Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa 

To escape the rage of a deadly king 

There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song 

That the captive children used to sing 

They were singin' 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

Through a dry and thirsty land, water from the Kenyon heights 

Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart 

There in the Sahara winds, Jesus heard the whole world cry 

For the healing that would flow from His own scars 

The world was singing 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

He will never break His promise, He has written it upon the sky 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with the sky 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by 

My Deliverer is coming
