The Burning Bush Lyrics

The Burning Bush Song Lyrics

---

God:
Moses....Moses....Moses....Moses

Moses:
Here I am.

God:
Take the sandals from your feet...for the place on which you stand is holy ground.

Moses:
Who are you?

God:
I AM that I AM.

Moses:
I don't understand...

God:
I am the God of your ancestors: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

[Miriam:]
You were born of my mother Yocheved, you are our brother.

Moses:
What do you want with me?

God:
I have seen the oppression of My people in Egypt, and have heard their cry.

[Moses:]
Stop it! Leave that man alone!

God:
So I have come down to deliver them out of slavery, and bring them to a good land. A land flowing with milk and honey. And so unto
Pharoah, I shall send you.

Moses:
Me? Who am I to lead these people? They'll never believe me, they won't even listen.

God:
I shall teach you what to say...

[Moses:]
Let My people go!

Moses:
But I was their enemy. I was the Prince of Egypt, the son of the man who slaughtered their children. You've, you've chosen the wrong
messenger. How, how can I even speak to these people?

God:
Who made man's mouth?! Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing, or the blind?! Did not I?! Now go!

God:
Oh, Moses. I shall be with you when you go to the King of Egypt, but Pharoah will not listen. So I will stretch out My hand, and
smite Egypt with all My wonders. Take the staff in your hand Moses, with it, you shall do My wonders. I shall be with you,
Moses.....Moses.....Moses.....
