[D] [G] Balaam was a prophet about the time that Moses was [C] coming through
[D] Never now and again God had speak to him tell him what to say [G] and do
He had a reputation in all those parts for being on the line [C] to power
[D] When Moab's King heard Moses was coming.
He called him in his [G] needy hour
[E] He said Balaam come and curse [D] these Israelites
[Em] If you do I believe I could beat him [D] in a fight
[C] But when Balaam asked the Lord the Lord [B] said Balaam don't you go
[C] Israel is blessed by me.
[B] Don't you go mess up my show
[C] But [A] Balaam's head was turned [Gm] by the money [E] he could earn [A] so he saddled up his donkey anyway
[D] [Gm] Balaam and his servants [G] hurried off for the king of [C] Moab's castle
[D] But they hadn't gone very far down the road when the whole trip became [G] a hassle
Because the donkey ran off across the field and she nearly broke Balaam's [C] ankle
But when [D] she lay right down it wouldn't get up Balaam got a little [G] more than rankled
[Em] For the third time Balaam beat her [D] with his cane
[Em] But that donkey just refused to [D] move again
It was the thing that happened next though to [B] make Balaam's knees get weak
Well [C] that donkey still would not get up, but [B] she began to speak she said Balaam
[A] You're to blame the way you beat me [E] is a shame [A] because all I've done is tried to save your life
[D] [G] Then the angel of the Lord appeared with a flaming [C] sword in his hand
[D] Balaam fell down on his face a very [G] frightened man
The angel said Balaam you'd be dead if your donkey [C] hadn't detected
[Dm] That I was waiting there to part your hair when you and my [G] sword connected
[Em] Balaam then [E] repented for [D] his sin
[Em] And he promised not to act like that [D] again
And I hope he learned his lesson [B] about God's reward for greed.
[C] You know, it's that talking donkey
[B] It's really strange indeed
[C] That donkey is [A] just a donkey, [Gm] but she's still the thing [E] God used [A] and that's the point.
I want you all [D] to see
[Gm] The Lord's the one [G] who makes the choice of the instrument [C] he's using
[D] We don't know the reasons and the plans [G] behind his choosing
When the Lord starts using you don't you pay it [C] any mind?
He could have used a dog next door if he'd been so inclined
