Deliver Us from The Prince of Egypt
By: Stephen Schwartz


          Em                     [ch]B/E[/ch]
With the sting of the whip on my shoulder
         [ch]B7/E[/ch]                   Em        E/G#
With the salt of my sweat on my brow  
   Am             D
Elohim, God on high
        Bm                C/E
Can you hear your people cry:
         F
Help us now
         E7sus    E
This dark hour...



[Chorus]

  Am       E/G#  Am 
Deliver us

Hear our call
  Dm       F   G
Deliver us 

Lord of all
  E7     Am                D      E    
Remember us, here in this burning sand
  Am       E/G#  Am
Deliver us
                B  Em  D/G  A
There's a land you promised us
  Am              Am/B  B    E5         Em
Deliver us to the promised land...


          [ch]B/E[/ch]  
Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach
(My good and tender son)
      Em                E/G#
Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad
(Don't be frightened and don't be scared)
   Am           D            Bm
My son, I have nothing I can give
         C/E                 F
But this chance that you may live
                  E7sus
I pray we'll meet again
E7         Am         E/G#   Am
If He will Deliver us
           [of Chorus]



Am         E/G#  Am
Deliver us

Hear our prayer
Dm         F  G
Deliver us

From despair
      E7        Am
These years of slavery grow
     D         E
too cruel to stand
  Am        E/G#  Am
Deliver us
               B   Em  D/G  A
There's a land you promised us
  Am

C            Dm7b5/C
Hush now, my baby

Be still, love, don't cry
C               Dm7b5/C          C
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream
Ab        Eb          Bbm7      C
Sleep and remember my last lullaby
[ch]Ab/G[/ch]            G/F            C     {Dm7b5/C  C}
So I'll be with you when you dream

D          Em7b5/D
River, o river
      D         Em7b5/D
Flow gently for me
D              Em7b5/D     D
Such precious cargo you bear
Bb           F
Do you know somewhere 
Cm7          D
he can live free?
[ch]Bb/Ab[/ch]    A/G          D       {Em7b5/D   D}     (Lots of Stuff)
River, deliver him there...


C                Dm7b5/C
Brother, you're safe now
     C           Dm7b5/C
And safe may you stay
    C        Dm7b5/C          C
For I have a prayer just for you:
Ab         Eb
Grow, baby brother
