Deliver Us - Ofra Haza, Eden Riegel

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!
