In a similar vein, a wonderful song from Rich Mullins (and it swings too, if you hear it!):

"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"
