Deliver Us |
| 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 in 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 be 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! |
