Deliver Us

Drop!

Pull!

Ahhh

Mud!

Sand!

Ahhh

Water!

Straw!

Faster!

Mud - and lift!

Sand - and pull!

Water - and raise up!

Straw!

Faster!

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!

Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rakh (My good and tender boy)

Al ti-ra veh-al tif-had (Don't be afraid 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!

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

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

Ahhhh

River, O river

Flow gently for me

Such precious cargo you bear

Do you know somewhere he can live free?

River, deliver him there

Ah-oh-ah, ah!

Ah-oh-ah, ah!

We must find a good name for you

Moses, your Majesty

Moses! What does that mean?

Deliverance

Deliverance the perfect name, deliverance

For you came, delivered to me by the great blue Nile

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

Ahhh

Deliver us!

Send a shepherd to shepherd us!

And deliver us to the Promised Land!

Deliver us to the Promised Land!

Deliver us!
