Deliver Us Lyrics


Mud, sand, water, straw, faster
Mud, and lift, sand, and pull
Water, and raise up, straw, fasterWith 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 hourDeliver 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 landYaldi hatov veh harach
(My good and tender son)
Al tira veh al tifchad
(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 usDeliver us, hear our prayer

Deliver us, from despair
These years of slavery grow
Too cruel to stand
Deliver us, there's a land you promise us
Deliver us, out of bondage and
Deliver us, to the promised landHush 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 dreamRiver, o, river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere
He can be free?
River, deliver him thereBrother, you're safe now
And safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for youGrow, baby brother
Come back someday
Come and deliver us, tooDeliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the promised landDeliver us

Ofra Haza (עפרה חזה) (born as Bat-Sheva Ofrah Hazah in Hatikva, Tel Aviv, Israel on 19 November 1957 - died 23 February 2000). In 1969, at the age of 12, Haza joined a local theater troupe, and manager Bezalel Aloni spotted her singing talent. He staged many of his productions around Haza, and later became her manager and mentor. At the age of 19, she was Israel's first pop star and retrospectively, music journalists described her as "The Madonna of the East".
