lyrics

Miriam & Moses

Inspired by the Song of Miriam and Moses in Exodus 15:1-9

Oh, la da da...

Oh, they laughed at me
They said they’d destroy me and the water rose high like a wall
But I’m here, I’m here,
I’m here, I’m here
Who is like you?
Who is like you in this world? I don’t know what you do
Take these words away, away
Away, away

Oh, la da da...

You lead, I hope, I follow,
Take me home, let me float
Let me float, I’ll float away
Oh, Sister, the water was high
It covered the heart of the sea
There they sank, those who chased us down
Nevermore our enemies

We will rise up,
We will rise up by the power of the arm that saves
We will live, we will live on the mountain
We will live and be redeemed

Oh, la da da…

Oh, they laughed at me
They said they’d destroy me and the water rose high like a wall
But I’m here, I’m here,
I’m here, I’m here

Who is like you?
Who is like you in this world? I don’t know what you do
Take these words away, away
Away, away

Oh, the water was high
The water was high, my love

Oh, take me, take me home
Home to the mountain, forever we’ll live
