1.	Ten Plagues (A-Side) 05:06	lyrics	buy track
The Ten Plagues Because you won’t let My people depart I’m sending My plagues against your heart You and your servants soon shall see In all of the earth there is none like Me And if I chose, I could send My hand To wipe you out from the face of the land But I let you live so you may declare How great My Name is everywhere From the rivers to the lakes to the puddles in the mud Every drop of water shall be turned into blood The fish life will perish, the river will stink The Nile will be vile and impossible to drink And from the bloody waters, frogs will ascend To enter the houses of you and your friends They’ll creep through your bed, in your kitchen too They’ll hop in your food and they’ll climb into you When the frogs die their stench will disgust Then lice infestation shall form from the dust The lice will reach each corner of the land Living on the bodies of animal and man Because you won’t let My people depart I’m sending My plagues against your heart You and your servants soon shall see In all of the earth there is none like Me And if I chose, I could send My hand To wipe you out from the face of the land But I let you live so you may declare How great My Name is everywhere On you and your land shall be unleashed A horde of vicious and venomous beast Emerging even from under the ground Except in the region My people are found A severe epidemic will kill all the sheep And horses, and donkeys and camels, you keep Your cattle will fall in the blink of an eye But no livestock of My people will die A handful of soot from the fireplace Shall be thrown to the sky right before your face Then burning and blistering boils will begin To erupt on you and your servants’ skin Because you won’t let My people depart I’m sending My plagues against your heart You and your servants soon shall see In all of the earth there is none like Me And if I chose, I could send My hand To wipe you out from the face of the land But I let you live so you may declare How great My Name is everywhere A hail of fire will fall from the sky And all that lives in the field will die Both man and beast, every blade of grass Each tree in the field, the hail will smash Some of your food may survive the rain But locust swarms will consume what remains They’ll enter your borders from all around So thick that you can’t even see the ground Then deep darkness will fill this place Til no man sees his brother’s face For three long days there will be no light Your land will be black as the darkest night Because you won’t let My people depart I’m sending My plagues against your heart You and your servants soon shall see In all of the earth there is none like Me And if I chose, I could send My hand To wipe you out from the face of the land But I let you live so you may declare How great My Name is everywhere Then eevery firstborn man shall die When midnight strikes your land shall cry A sound like there has never been Nor will there ever be again Your son will die and you will grieve You’ll pay My children just to leave You’ll dress them in your very best You’ll give them all that they request They will no longer be your slaves For I will bring them forth to save Redeem and take them as My own Then lead them through the desert home
2.	Miriam (B-Side) 05:43	lyrics	buy track
Miriam Ari 1/11/11 We once were enslaved but now we’re saved Oppression was washed away with a wave Our family and we are finally free Let dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Close your eyes and try to pretend You fled from a life of slavery and then Made it to freedom with thousands of friends The young and the old and the women and men Never going to see Pharaoh’s face again So let down your guard no need to defend Play on your drum you got time to spend Now dance like Miriam, set the trend Move your feet let me see you bend And work your body from end to end But don’t get down let your mind ascend All praises to the Most High, Amen We once were enslaved but now we’re saved Oppression was washed away with a wave Our family and we are finally free Let dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Never forget how it was before Forced into slavery we did every chore Our burden was big but they piled on more And worked us until we were tired and sore After ten plagues they showed us the door But Pharaoh’s heart was hard to the core His army pursued us ready for war With chariot, horse, and sharpened sword But now they sleep on the ocean’s floor For they were sunk by the hand of The Lord Dance and sing let the praises pour From your lips out on the seashore We once were enslaved but now we’re saved Oppression was washed away with a wave Our family and we are finally free Let dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Move your feet start kicking up sand Clap those hand we don’t need no band Bang on the drums and sing and dance We’re here and we’re free and that’s a slim chance Escaped from the most narrow place Between a rock and the Pharaoh’s face His army pursued, but the wind it blew The waters split and we passed right through And when we arrived on the other side The water returned and His army died So dance and cheer cause we’re in the clear First time we’re free in four hundred years We once were enslaved but now we’re saved Oppression was washed away with a wave Our family and we are finally free Let dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea The bodies of those who came to make war Against us, washed up dead on the shore Our people could barely believe their eyes They laughed and cried they were so surprised A queen Miriam stepped on the scene The prophetess picked up her tambourine She began to dance, all the woman came They followed with drums and they did the same The sons of Israel burst into song Together six hundred thousand strong They praised the One Who Shall Always Be For setting us free on the shore of the sea We once were enslaved but now we’re saved Oppression was washed away with a wave Our family and we are finally free Let dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea Dance like Miriam at the Red Sea
