more for you Char.  reminded me a little of your Esther "persona"  ;o)

(The Prince of Egypt)
1998
music & lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
[soundtrack song - The Plagues]
[soundtrack song - When You Believe]
[Ben played the soundtrack and went back & forth between the two songs:]

[begin:  Plagues]

[Chorus]
Thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord...

Since you refuse to free my people
All through the land of Egypt

I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed
Into your streams, into your streets
Into your drink, into your bread
Upon your cattle, on your sheep
Upon your oxen in your field
Into your dreams, into your sleep
Until you break, until you yield
I send the swarm, I send the horde
Thus saith the Lord

[Interject Believe:]

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear-
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood.
Now we are not afraid-
Although we know there's much to fear.
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could!

[from Plagues]

[Moses]
Once I called you brother
Once I thought the chance to make you laugh
Was all I ever wanted

[Chorus]
I send the thunder from the sky
I send the fire raining down

[Moses]
And even now I wish that God had chose another
Serving as your foe on His behalf
Is the last thing that I wanted

[Chorus]
I send a hail of burning ice
On every field, on every town

[Moses]
This was my home
All this pain and devastation
How it tortures me inside
All the innocent who suffer
