He Is Able to Deliver

Representative Text

1 He is able to deliver thee, O sinner;
He will drive the night away;
He’s the star of perfect day;
He will shine from heaven in thy heart forever.

Refrain:
He is able, He is able
To deliver thee.

2 He is able to deliver thee, O sinner;
See the myriad worlds above,
And the one on which we move—
They were made by our eternal God of power. [Refrain]

3 He is able to deliver thee, O sinner;
See your life is in His hand,
Thus you live at His command;
He’s the source of good, the ever blessed Giver. [Refrain]

4 He is able to deliver thee, O sinner;
He has quenched the fire of yore,
Stopped the lion’s rage and roar,
He has raised the dead and healed the spotted leper. [Refrain]

5 He is able to deliver thee, O sinner;
For He told the king His dream,
Stopped the Jordan’s flowing stream;
Healed the lame, the blind, the palsy—what a Savior! [Refrain]
