On the song’s message and collaborating with Johnson, Donald Lawrence says: “Deliver Me is Spiritual Song Psychotherapy; it encourages the listener to accept past oppressions but embrace brand new freedom from self-sabotage by declaring ‘This Is My Exodus’…I’m blessed by testimonies of a new sense of freedom…and Le’Andria Johnson, thank you for your transparency.”
