Now Balaam, he had a donkey
Who was gentle and true and kind
And the donkey saw an angel with a sword
And so he slipped old Balaam past him
And when he had 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

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, well, 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 can change a king's heart'
Who knows but what, you've come into the world
For such a time as this

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

There was Miriam dancing
And there was Jubal with a harp
And there was poor blind Samson
Even Pontius Pilate played a part

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

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
