[Intro: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
Mud!
Sand!
Water!
Straw! Faster!

[Hook: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
Mud, and lift!
Sand, and pull!
Water, and raise up!
Straw! Faster!

[Verse 1: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
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: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
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 2: Jonathan Young]
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 delivеr us

[Chorus: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
Deliver us
Hear our prayеr, 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

[Bridge: Caleb Hyles]
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
[Outro: Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles]
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us
