Balaam was a prophet about the time

bein' on the line of power

comin' he called him in his needy hour

curse these Israelites

Em
If you do I believe I could beat

the Lord said, "Balaam don't you go
C
Israel is blessed by Me,
B
F#m
B
don't you go mess up My show"

by the money he could earn

So he saddled up his donkey anyway
G
Ba laam and his servants
Verse 3
hurried off
C
for the King of Mo ab's castle
D
But they hadn't gone very far down the road
G
when the whole trip became a hassle
Because the donkey ran off across a field,
C
then she nearly broke Balaam's ankle
D
But when she lay right down and wouldn't get up
G
Balaam got a little more than rankled
Verse 4
Em
For the third time Balaam beat
Em
But that donkey just refused
C
It was the thing that happened next though,

C
Well, that donkey still would not
B
get up but she began to speak
C
A
She said, "Balaam you're to blame,

the way you beat me is a shame

'Cause all I've done is tried
D
A

to save your life!"

G
Then the Angel of the Lord appeared

you'd be dead if your donkey hadn't detected

That I was waitin' there to part your hair when

you and my sword connected"

Balaam then repented for his sin
Em

And he promised not to act like that again

Now that donkey's just a donkey
G

but she's still the thing God used
A

And that's the point I want you all to see
Verse 7
G
The Lord's the one who makes the choice
C
of the instrument He's usin'
D
We don't know the reasons and
G
the plans behind His choosin'
So when the Lord starts usin'
C
you don't you pay it any mind
He 'could have used the dog next
G
door if He'd been so inclined
