Deliver Us Lyrics - Singles - Ofra Haza

Mud, sand, water, straw, faster 

Mud, and lift, sand, and pull 

Water, and raise up, straw, faster 

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 

Yaldi 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 us 

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 promise us 

Deliver us, out of bondage and 

Deliver us, to the promised land 

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 

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 

Deliver us 

Send a shepherd to shepherd us 

And deliver us to the promised land 

Deliver us
