1. Deliver Us lyrics

[ENSEMBLE (Hebrew Slaves)] (spoken)
Drop!
Pull (AHH)!
Mud!
Sand (AHH)!
Water!
Straw!

[EGYPTIAN GUARDS]
Faster!

[ENSEMBLE (Slaves)]
Mud (And lift!)
Sand (And pull!)
Water (And raise up!)
Straw!

[GUARDS]
Faster!

[ENSEMBLE (Slaves)] (sung)
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

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
AL TI-RA VEH AL TIF-CHAD

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

[ENSEMBLE (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 LIVE FREE?
RIVER, DELIVER HIM THERE

AH-AHH, AHH...

[ENSEMBLE (Nile River)]
AH-AHH, AHH,
AH-AHH, AHH...

[QUEEN TUYA] (spoken)
We must find a good name for you.

[YOUNG MIRIAM]
Moses, your Majesty.
[TUYA]
"Moses"? What does that mean?

[YOUNG MIRIAM]
"Deliverance."

[TUYA] (sung)
DELIVERANCE–PERFECT NAME,
DELIVERANCE, FOR YOU CAME,
DELIVERED TO ME BY THE GREAT BLUE NILE

[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

[ENSEMBLE (Slaves)]
DELIVER US,
SEND A SHEPHERD TO SHEPHERD US
AND DELIVER US TO THE PROMISED LAND
DELIVER US TO THE PROMISED LAND

[YOCHEVED]
DELIVER US...
