"Deliver Us" lyrics
(originally by Ofra Haza & Eden Riegel from "The Prince of Egypt" film)
Mud!
Sand!
Water!
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
ילדי הטוב והרך
אל תירא ואל תפחד
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 (deliver us)
Hear our prayer, deliver us
From despair
These years of slavery
Grown too cruel to stand
Deliver us
There's a land You promised us
Deliver us out the bondage
Deliver us to the Promised Land
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
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us to the Promised Land
Sand!
Water!
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
ילדי הטוב והרך
אל תירא ואל תפחד
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 (deliver us)
Hear our prayer, deliver us
From despair
These years of slavery
Grown too cruel to stand
Deliver us
There's a land You promised us
Deliver us out the bondage
Deliver us to the Promised Land
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
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us to the Promised Land
