Deliver Us lyrics

Mud!

Sand!

Water!

Straw!

Faster!

Mud! And lift!

Sand! And pull!

Water! And raise up!

Straw!

Faster!

Feel 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.

Yaldi hatov ve'harach (My good and tender son)

Al tira ve'al tifh'ad (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!

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

River, oh river, flow gently for me!

Such precious cargo you bear!

Do you know somewhere he can be free?

River, deliver him there

(vocalizing)

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!

Deliver us!
