HEBREWS
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
Yaldi ha to ve harach.
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 willHEBREWS
deliver us.
Hear our prayer.
Deliver us
from despair.
These years of slav'ry 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, oh river, flow gently for me,
such precious cargo you bear.
Do you know somewhere
he can live 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.HEBREWS

to the promised land.
Deliver us
to the promised land.YOCHEVED

MOSES
Gleaming in the moonlight,
cool and clean and all I've ever known,
all I ever wanted.
Sweet perfumes of incense,
graceful rooms of alabaster stone,
all I ever wanted.This is my home,
with my father, mother, brother,
oh so noble, oh so strong.
Now I am home.
Here among my trappings and belongings,
I belong,
and if anybody doubts it
they couldn't be more wrong.I am a sov'reign prince of Egypt,
a son of the proud history that's shown
etched on ev'ry wall.
Surely this is all I ever wanted,
all I ever wanted,
all I ever wanted.QUEEN
This is your home my son,
here the river brought you,
and it's here the river meant
to be your home.
Now you know the truth, love.
Now forget and be content.
When the gods send you a blessing
you don't ask why it was sent.

JETHRO
A single thread in a tapestry, though its color brightly shine,
can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone that sits on the very top of the mountain's mighty face,
does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base?
So how can you what your life is worth or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man.
You must look at your life,
look at your life through heaven's eyes.JETHRO and MIDIANITES

lai lai lai lai lai lai.JETHRO
A lake of gold in the desert sand is less than a cool fresh spring.
And to one lost sheep a shepherd boy is greater than the richest king.
If a man lose ev'rything he owns, has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man?
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come,
the answer will come to him who tries
to look at his life through heaven's eyes.And that's why we share all we have with you, though there's little to be found.
When all you have is nothing, there's a lot to go around.
No life can escape being blown by the winds of change and chance.
And though you never know all the steps,
you must learn to join the dance,
you must learn to join the dance.JETHRO and MIDIANITES

So, how do you judge what a man is worth?
By what he builds or buys?
You canJETHRO and MIDIANITES
never see with your eyes on Earth;
look through heaven's eyes.JETHRO
Look at your life.JETHRO and MIDIANITES
Look at your life.
Look at your life through heaven's eyes.

CHOIR
Thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord,
thus saith the Lord.I send the pestilence and plague
into your house, into your bed,
into your streams, into your streets,
into your drink, into your bread,
upon your cattle, on your sheep,
upon your oxen in your field,
into your dreams, into your sleep,
until you break, until you yield.
I send the swarm, I send the horde,
thus saith the Lord.MOSES
Once I called you brother.
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh
was all I ever wanted.CHOIR
I send the thunder from the sky,
I send the fire raining down.MOSES
And even now I wish that God had chose another.
Serving as your foe on His behalf
is the last thing that I wanted.CHOIR
I send a hail of burning ice
on ev'ry field, on ev'ry town.MOSES
This was my home.
All this pain and devastation,
how it tortures me inside.
All the innocent who suffer
from your stubbornness and pride.CHOIR
I send the locusts on the wind
such as the world has never seen
on ev'ry leaf, on ev'ry stalk
until there's nothing left of green.
I send my scourge, I send my sword,
thus saith the Lord.MOSES
You who I called brother,
must you call down another blow?CHOIR
I send my scourge, I send my sword.MOSES
Let my people go.CHOIR
Thus saith the Lord,MOSES and CHOIR
Thus saith the Lord.RAMESES
You who I called brother,
how could you have come to hate me? So
is this what you wanted?CHOIR
I send the swarm, I send the horde.RAMESES
Then let my heart be hardened
and never mind how high the cost may grow.
This will still be so.
I will never let your people go.CHOIR
Thus saith the Lord.MOSES

MIRIAM
Many nights we've prayed with no proof anyone could hear.
In our hearts a hopeful song we barely understood.
Now we are not afraid, although we know there's much to fear.
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could.There can be miracles when you believe.
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will,
you will when you believe.TZIPPORAH
In this time of fear, when prayer so often proved in vain,
hope seemed like the summer birds, too swiftly flown away.TZIPPORAH
Yet now I'm standing here,MIRIAM
now I'm standing here,TZIPPORAH
with heart so full I can't explain,TOGETHER
seeking faith and speaking words I'd never thought I'd say.There can be miracles
TZIPPORAH
when you believe.MIRIAM
when you believe.TZIPPORAH
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.MIRIAM
it's hard to kill.TOGETHER
Who knows what miraclesTZIPPORAH
you can achieve?MIRIAM
you can achieve.TOGETHER
When you believe, somehow you will,
you will when you believeCHILDREN
Ashira l'Adonai ki gaoh gaah.
Ashira l'Adonai ki gaoh gaah.
Michamocha baelim Adonai
Mikamochane darbakodesh.
Nachitah v'chasd'cha am zu gaalta.
Nachi tah v'chasd'cha am zu gaalta.
Ashira, ashira, ashira.ALL HEBREWS

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve?
When you believe, somehow you will,
now you will.
You will when you believe.MIRIAM and TZIPPORAH

I've been wand'rin' round in the dark,
been lost somewhere where no light could shine on my heart.
I have known a pain so deep,
but I know my faith will free me. (Get there.)
And I'll get through this. (Get there.)
I'll find my way again.
So don't tell me that it's over,
'cause each step just gets me closer.I will get there.
I will get there. (I will get there.)
I will get there somehow.
Cross that river. (Cross that river.)
Nothing's stopping me now.
I will get through the night
and make it through to the other side.
Get there.
Get there.
Get there.
Get there.I've been in these chains for so long,
but I'll break free and I'll be there where I belong.
Hold my head up high; I'll stand tall,
and I swear this time I won't fall. (Get there.)
I will do this (Get there.)
no matter what it takes.
'Cause I know no limitations,
and I'll reach my destination.I will get there. (I will get there.)
I will get there somehow.

I will get through the night
and make it through to the other side.
Get there.
Get there.
Get there.
Get there.Well, the night is cold and dark,
but somewhere the sun is shining.
And I'll feel it shine on me.
I'll keep trying.
