Lyrics The Prince of Egypt: The Burning Bush - Dominik Hauser

The Prince of Egypt: The Burning Bush

God: Moses…
Moses: Here I am.
God: Take the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy
ground.
Moses: Who are you?
God: I Am that I Am.
Moses: I don’t understand.
God: I am the God of your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Miriam: You are born of our mother Yocheved!
You are our brother!
Moses: What do you want with me?
God: I have seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and have heard their cry.
Moses: Stop it!
Leave that man alone!!!
God: So I shall stretch forth my hand, and lead them out of Egypt,
and deliver them into a good land.
A land flowing with milk and honey.
And so, unto Pharaoh, I shall send… you.
Moses: Me?
W-who am I to lead these people?
They’ll never believe me,
they won’t even listen.
God: I shall teach you what to say.
Moses: Let my people go!
Moses: But I was their enemy.
I was the prince of Egypt, the son of the man who
slaughtered… their children!
You’ve chosen the wrong messenger!
H-how can I even speak to these people?
God: Who made man’s mouth?
Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing,
or the blind?
Did not I?
Now go!
God: Oh, Moses, I shall be with you when you go to the king of Egypt.
But Pharaoh will not listen.
So I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt
with all my wonders!
Take the staff in your hand, Moses.
With it,
you shall do my wonders.
I will be with you, Moses.
