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

And so the Lord

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 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"



And a princess pulled a baby out of the water

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
