| Lyrics: | [Egyptian Guards]
Mud...Sand...Water...Straw...Faster!
Mud...And lift...Sand...And
Pull
Water...And raise up...Straw...Faster!
[Slaves]
With the sting of the whip
on my shoulder
With the salt of my sweat on my brow
Elohim, God on high
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]
Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach
(My good and tender son)
Al
ti-ra veh al tif-chad
(Don't be frightened and don't be scared)
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
[Slaves]
Deliver us
Hear our prayer
Deliver us
From
despair
These years of slavery grow
too cruel to stand
Deliver us
There's a land
you promised us
Deliver us
Out of 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, o river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you
bear
Do you know somewhere
he can live free?
River, deliver him
there...
[Young Miriam]
Brother, you're safe now
And safe may you stay
For
I have a prayer just for you:
Grow, baby brother
Come back someday
Come and deliver
us, too...
[Slaves]
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver
us to the promised land
[Yocheved]
Deliver us! |
