Deliver Us from The Prince of Egypt
By: Stephen Schwartz
[Verse]
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
This dark hour...
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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...
[Interlude]
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 live free?
{ } (Lots of Stuff)
River, deliver him there...
[Verse]
Brother, you re safe now
And safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for you:
Grow, baby brother
Come back someday
(interlude is chorus chords)
Come and deliver us, too...
[Chorus]
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the promised land
{ }
Deliver us to the promised land
Deliver us!
