Deliver Us Lyrics

Deliver Us Song Lyrics

---

HEBREWS:
Mud!
Sand!
Water!
Straw!
Faster!

Mud! And lift!
Sand! And pull!
Water! And raise up!
Straw!

EGYPTIAN GUARD:
Faster!

HEBREWS:
Feel the sting of the whip on my shoulder
With the salt of my sweat on my brow
Elohim, adonai, can you hear your people cry?
Help us now!
This dark hour.
Deliver us!
Hear our call, deliver us!
Lord of all, remember us here in this burning sand!
Deliver us! There's a land you promised us!
Deliver us to the promised land.

YOCHEVED:
Yaldi hatov ve'harach
Al tira ve'al tifh'ad
My son, I have nothing I can give
But this chance that you may live
I pray we'll meet again if He will deliver us!

HEBREWS:
Deliver us!
Hear our prayer, deliver us!
From these famished years as slaves, we've grown too old to stand
Deliver us! There's a land you promised us!
Deliver us from the bondage and
Deliver us to the promised land.

YOCHEVED:
Hush now, my baby, be still love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember my last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream

River, oh river, flow gently for me!
Such precious cargo you bear!
Do you know somewhere he can be free?
River, deliver him there

MIRIAM:
Brother, you're safe now, and safe may you stay
I have a prayer just for you
Grow, baby brother, come back someday
Come and deliver us too

HEBREWS:
Deliver us! Send a shepherd to shepherd us!
And deliver us to the promised land!
Deliver us to the promised land!

YOCHEVED:
Deliver us!
