What is the meaning of the song Deliver Us?
About “Deliver Us”. The opening song introduces the setting of our story: An enslaved nation, the Hebrews, subjugated in Egypt and desperately calling to God for rescue and to fulfil His deliverance of His people to the Promised Land.
“Deliver Us” is the opening song of the musical (as well as the movie from which it is adapted from).
In it, the Hebrews are suffering from their slavery by the Egyptians and cry out for deliverance.
Alongside this, the mother of the protagonist (Moses) sends him off on the Nile as a baby for his safety. He is found by the Egyptian queen, who gives him his name.
Structurally, the song implies plot-wise that Moses will become that deliverance for the Hebrews.
