I Remember

Zacharti lach hesed neuraich
Ahavat kelulotaich

I Remember your love and your kindness
When you walked with me
Through desert wildness
I remember
I remember you

Leichteich acharai bamidbar
Leichteich
acharai b’eretz lo z’rua

How you walked with me
When you were young and free
How you walked with me
Through the sand and sea

Ashrei

Ashrei yoshvei veitecha
Od yehallelucha, Selah
Ashrei ha'am shekacha lo
Ashrei haam sh'Adonai elohav

Halleluyah

Happy are people living in Your temple
May they always praise You, Selah
Joy to the ones who feel Your grace
Oh happy people, happy people!

Halleluyah

Karov Adonai lechol korav
lechol asher yikrauhu b'emet
Vaanachnu nevareich Yah
Meata vead olam
Halleluyah

You are near to everyone who is calling
To all who open up and feel Your truth
And we will go on blessing Yah
From now on and forever

Halleluyah

Generous Sun

I can’t believe all you have done for me
Healing me with kindness and a love I can feel
Keep far away all trouble and pain
Protect me
Please keep me safe
And may these words that I dare to say
Be your will, my Rock who saves

And always shine on me a generous sun
With wings of light healing me with love
Always shine on me a generous sun
With wings of light healing me with love
Healing me with love

Our lives are a gift of your mercy and delight
Oh generous Lover of Life
But even heartbreak can heal cause in the darkness I find
You near shining love like a light

So always shine on me a generous sun
With wings of light healing me with love
Always shine on me a generous sun
With wings of light healing me with love
Healing me with love

Whole Wide World

The whole wide world is a very narrow bridge
Don’t be afraid of it
The whole wide world is a very narrow bridge
 
The whole wide world is a very narrow thread
I think I’ll follow it
The whole wide world is a very narrow thread
 
The whole wide world is abundant colored string
Scarlet, purple, blue and green
The whole wide world is abundant colored string
 
The whole wide world is in the Weaver’s hand
Fire, water, air and land
The whole wide world is in the Weaver’s hand
 
The whole wide world is the sacred work of Love
Earth and Heaven, Moon and Sun
The whole wide world is the sacred work of Love
 
The whole wide world is many strands in One
Those who’ve come and those who’ve gone
The whole wide world is many strands in One
 
The whole wide world is a very narrow bridge
Don’t be afraid of it
The whole wide world is a very narrow bridge
 
Very narrow bridge
Very narrow thread
Abundant colored string
In the Weaver’s hand
The sacred work of Love
Many strands in One
The whole wide world is a very narrow bridge

Rumi Nishmat

Nishmat kol hai tvareich et shimcha et shmeich
The breathing of all life is blessing your name
But I have nothing to say
I have nothing to pray
So Spirit practice a song through me
 
Kol atzmotai tomarna, Adonai mi kamocha
All of my bones are speaking their truth,
My Divine, who is like You
But I have nothing to say
I have nothing to pray
So Spirit practice a song through me
 
Borchi nafshi et Adonai vchol kravai et shem kodsho
My body is blessing my Divine
The Holy Name – the song of my insides
But I have nothing to say
I have nothing to pray
So Spirit practice a song through me
