Song 10 of 25

“Pass Over Us” is the emotional centerpiece of the Passover sequence, a sacred solo carried entirely by Miriam as the Hebrew people wait through the night of the tenth plague. The number unfolds like an ancient prayer set to music, fragile yet unwavering, shaped by fear, faith, and the fierce love of a people guarding their children behind sealed doors. This moment freezes the musical in reverent stillness as Miriam becomes the spiritual heartbeat of Israel.

The song is orchestral and intimate. A solo violin leads with a trembling, candlelit motif, joined by soft cello and ambient drone. The music moves gently, as if afraid to disturb the darkness outside.

Song Lyrics

[MIRIAM:]

“Brush the frame
Of every door
Mark the wood
Then speak no more “

“Hide the flame
Seal the sound
Lay the child
To holy ground “

[REFRAIN 1]

“Pass over us
Pass over us
Let the night
Not swallow trust “

[VERSE 2]

“Bake the bread
Eat it fast
Tie your cloak
The time won’t last “

“Do not cry
Do not roam
Keep your feet
Inside your home “

[REFRAIN 2]

“Pass over us
Pass over us
Let the fire
Not find the just “

[VERSE 3]

“I have prayed
With eyes half-closed
I have wept
For what He knows “

“We are frail
But we obey
Let His word
Be light today”

[FINAL REFRAIN]

“Pass over us
Pass over us
Hold this house
In sacred hush “

“Pass over us
Pass over us
Guide us into
Morning’s rush “
