Bridegroom of blood – bridegroom of blood
Drag your name through the mud – bridegroom of blood
My husband’s a dud – bridegroom of blood

 

Moses, woe is me
Tears are reaching biblical proportions
All I see are visual distortions
Of arbitrary rituals with foreskins – so many foreskins
Moses, woe is me

 

What choice did I have?  I married a stranger
My sisters, onlookers – my father, arranger
My husband’s having all the fun – and me, skipped
The weather’s probably great right now in Egypt
The weather’s probably great right now in Egypt
(“Except, it’s not!”)

 

I’m glad my sons are safe here from calamity
I’m happy to be home – I love my family
But wouldn’t I be happier with husband’s hand in mine?
I’m fine – just not used to sudden chastity

 

Yahweh, thank you for smiling upon Midian
For sparing us obscurity or oblivion
For sharing what You’ve promised to Your children

 

Yahweh, speak through my husband’s candid stammering
Protecting him from every evil’s tampering
Then send him quickly home, his feet fit for the scampering

 

Yahweh – Yahweh – Amen
Yahweh – Amen – Amen
