Who God Is Gonna Use

Rich Mullins


"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 
Well Balaam got so me 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 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 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 
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 
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"
