Deliver Us

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
