Now Balaam, he had a donkey    Who was gentle and true and kind    And the donkey saw an angel with a sword    So he slipped old Balaam past him    And when he done it three times    Well, Balaam got so mad he beat the donkey    And so the Lord    Well, he gave the donkey language    And the donkey plainly brayed,    "Well, there's an angel about to strike you from the path"    Then old Balaam's eyes were opened    And he realized he'd been saved    By his donkey from the angel of God's wrath       CHORUS:   And a princess pulled a baby out of the water    He was hidden in the rushes    Sleeping in a basket made of reeds    And you never know who God is gonna use    A princess or a baby    Or maybe even you or me       Now Esther, she was a beauty    Who was pleasing to a man    And the man that she was pleasing was a king    But her people's lives were threatened    By some wicked men's plans    Nobody knew just how the lord was gonna intervene    Well, Mordecai her uncle, he was honest but he was smart    And he knew that Esther's beauty was a gift    He said, "Maybe you could cook some supper    Maybe you could change a king's heart    Who knows but what you come into the world    For such a time as this"       CHORUS      There was Miriam dancing    And there was Jubal with a harp    There was poor blind Samson    Even Pontius Pilate played a part       CHORUS x2
