Prayer For Travellers


May the God who called our father Avraham -
Avinu Avraham, Avinu Avraham, Avinu , Avinu
You called him to journey into the unknown
And you guarded him and you blessed him
Protect me too
Bless me too
May his spirit be with me on the way
May he lead me home in peace
Back to my home in peace

Those I love, I command to his care -
He is with them all and I shall not fear, no need to be afraid
May his presence be my companion
So that blessing may come
To everyone I meet
Everyone

Blessed are you, O Lord our God
Whose presence travels on, on with his people
May your spirit be with us on the way
May you lead us home in peace
Back to our home in peace

May your spirit be with us on the way
May you lead us home in peace
Lead us back home in peace


The Covenant

Lift up your eyes, for as far as you see
To the North, to the South, to the West and the East
Is the land that is promised to you and your children
A place to belong and to live in shalom ...

Take your sons and your daughters and follow my way
Learn to love my commandments, my laws to obey
And I'll make your name great, I will bless those who bless you
I'll curse those who mock and despise and deride you

All shall be bathed in your light and your fragrance
All shall be filled with the joy of your faithfulness
Care for this world of such beauty and wonder
Guard my creation, respect one another

For I am your shield, your defender, your Lord
This is my promise, this my reward

All shall be bathed in your light and your fragrance
All shall be filled with the joy of your faithfulness
Care for this world of such beauty and wonder
Guard my creation, respect one another

For I am your shield, your defender, your Lord
This is my promise, this my reward

Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes


Shema (Hear! O Israel)

Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one
Love the Lord your God with all your strength and might
With all your heart and soul my people come
Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one

Teach my laws for life
Impress them upon your children
Like foundations to your home
And walk with the words of life all around you
Let them be a cornerstone

Tie these words as symbols on your hands
that they may offer goodness
Tie them on your foreheads
that your eyes may see
Write them on the doorframes of your homes
and on the gates of the city
That in everything you shall remember me

Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one
Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one

City of Peace
(Instrumental)


Over the City
(Instrumental)


O Yerushalayim

O Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim
I played flute for you
And you did not dance, you did not dance

O, Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim
How often have I longed
To gather you children together

But you were not willing
You would not have me
I tell you, you shall not see me, till you hear
Baruch HaBa B'shem Adonai
'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Jehovah'


On a Night of Rain in Jerusalem

The few trees in the yard moan like a forest
The thunderous clouds are heavy with rivers
The angels of Peace stand at the head of my sleeping children
As the trees moan and the heavy rains pour down

Outside: Jerusalem, city of the Father's glorious trial
Where he bound his son on one of the hills
That fire, kindled at dawn, still burns on the hill
The rains have not put it out

What can equal this glory, this wondrous zeal
Alive since that ancient dawn to this very moment
for the Mount of Moriah?
The blood of the covenant sings on in the Father's fervent body
He is prepared to offer his sacrifice on the Temple Mount at dawn

It is the fire between the sacrificial pieces
It is the fire between the sacrificial pieces

Outside, Jerusalem and the moaning of the Lord's trees
Cut down by her enemies in every generation
Clouds are heavy with rain, lightnings in them and thunders
Which for me, on this night of rain, Are tidings from the mouth of God
To endless generations, endless generations
endless generations, endless generations

Night
(Instrumental)

Moriah

Avraham, Avraham -
Take your son, your only son
Beloved one, to the land of Moriah
Prepare the wood for sacrifice
And carry with you fire and knife

On the horizon where the mountains stands
Bring your son, build an altar with your hands
Then bind him with chords and cover his eyes
Upon the stones set Issac down to lie

O my father
Behold the wood and the fire and the knife
But where is the lamb for the sacrifice?
We have travelled far and I long for home
And soon the light of day will be gone

God will provide Himself - the lamb
I do not fully understand
But I trust him still in life, in death
Through him I breathe my every breath
My son

Do you love me?
You know I do
Avraham, Avraharm -
Lay not your hand on him, nor wound him
For I know you fear me, love me more than all
Because of this indeed I bless you
Because you answered when I called

And as the stars that dwell in the heavens
And grains of sand upon the shore
So shall be your children and your children's children
And My words shall stand for ever more
And all nations of the earth shall prosper
Because your faith in me stood firm
When I dared to ask of you the sacrifice
Of your beloved only son

Behold the wood and the fire and the knife
But where is the lamb for the sacrifice?

Behold the wood and the fire and the knife
But where is the lamb for the sacrifice?

Behold the wood and the fire and the knife
But where is the lamb for the sacrifice?

Day of Atonement / Lamb of God

Grant us your peace, grant us your peace
Grant us your peace, grant us your peace

My soul is filled with sorrow to the point of death
Stay here, keep watch with me and feel my every breath
Oh my father if it be possible take this cup away

Lamb of God who bears the sins of all the world
Lamb of God have mercy on our wounded souls

This is my blood of the covenant I pour out for you
Do this in remembrance of my love for you
Oh my Father if it be possible take this cup away
Yet your will not mine be done, and strengthen me I pray

Lamb of God through whom one day all pain shall cease
Lamb of God have mercy, grant us your peace
Grant us your peace, grant us your peace
Grant us your peace, grant us your peace


City of Peace
(Instrumental)


Feed My Lambs

Do you love me?
You know that I do


Do you love me?
You know that I do

Do you love me more than these?
Lord you know this, why do you ask?

Follow me than, wherever I go
Feed my lambs, feed my lambs


You

Where I wander - you! Where I ponder - you!
Only you, you again, always you

When I'm gladdened - you! When I'm saddened - you!
Only you, you again, always you

Sky is you, earth is you
You above, you below
In every trend, at every end
Only you, you again, always you!

You, you, you, you


City of Peace


My Every Breath


I would never ever leave you
I watched over your first footsteps
Come to me and I will give you rest

Ever since you were a child
I loved you as a father loves his own
But the more I sought to bring you home
The more you wandered far away

How you strained to break away alone
With hardened eyes
How you turned your open hearts
To hearts of stone

We could have made this journey hand in hand
Enjoyed the goodness of this land...
Couldn't we? Couldn't we?

Now a darkness fails upon you
Blinds your eyes and turns your gold to dust
But my heart is changed within me
How compassion fills my every breath
Within me, how compassion fills my every breath


The Cry

Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

What have you done?
What have you done?

Your brother's blood
cries out to me
From the ground
Now you are
under a curse and
Driven from the ground
Which opened its mouth
To receive your
Brother's blood
From your hand

What have you done?
What have you done?

You will be a restless
wanderer on the earth
For dust you are
And to dust you will return


Night 2
(Instrumental)


To Israel In Exile

O sleeper, whose heart is awake
Burning and raging
Now wake and go forth
And walk in the light of my presence

Rise and ride on!
A star has come forth for you
And he who has lain in the pit
Will go up to the top of Sinai
Let them not exult, those who say
'Zion is desolate!' -
For my heart is in Zion
And my eyes are there

I reveal myself and I conceal myself
Now I rage, now I consent -
But who has more compassion
Than I have for my children


Lion of Judah

Come, let us return unto the Lord our God
He has torn us into pieces
But he will heal us

Let us set ourselves to follow him in all his ways
For he caused our feet to stumble
With humble hearts we come

His presence will enfold us, he will bind our wounds
For we know he will revive us
After three days he shall raise us

He will appear as surely as the rising sun
He will come to us like the winter rains
For his ways are right, we shall walk in them

The desert and the cities raise their voices high
Let the people shout from the mountain tops
Let the stones cry out - for he is King

Hope is with the hopeless and our fears are gone
Ride on, O Lord, our warrior
And lead your people home

Lion of Judah, rock of ages
So revealed through endless pages
Prince of Peace to every nation
Surely God is my salvation

You will lead us, we shall follow
No more darkness, no more sorrow
Did our hearts not burn within us
As his words were opened to us

We are ransomed, healed, forgiven
It is true, the Lord is risen
Satan's power forever broken
Heaven's gates forever open


The Journey Home
(Instrumental)


Lift Up Your Eyes

Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes to the Lord
Praise His name
Praise him for ever
Prepare a way
Prepare a way for the King
The City of Peace
Shall dance
To the rhythm and song
Of the flute and drum


Children of the Dream

When the Lord returned again
The captive ones to Zion -
We were children of the dream

Our mouths were filled with laughter
And our tongues with songs of joy -
We are children of the dream

Then did all the nations say
"The Lord has done great things -
They are children of the dream"
Lord restore our fortunes
As the desert and the stream -
We are children of the dream
Those who sow in tears
O they shall reap at harvest time -
They are children of the dream
When the Lord returned again
The captive ones to Zion -
We were children of the dream
The Lord has done great things for us
And now our hearts rejoice -
We are children of the dream
Lord restore our fortunes
As the desert and the stream -
We are children of the dream

Those who sow in tears
O they shall reap at harvest time -
They are children of the dream
They are children of the dream
We are children of the dream


Like A Child That Is Quieted is My Soul

O Lord my heart is not lifted up
My eyes are not raised too high
I do not occupy myself with things
Too great and too marvellous for me
But I have calmed and quieted my soul
Like a child that is quieted at its mother's breast
Like a child that is quieted is my soul
O Israel hope in the Lord from this lime forth
And for evermore...


Shalom

Come into my life and make this house your home - Shalom
Breathe my fragrance, drink my wine, O sleep in joy - Shalom
Friend embrace this maiden, feet her brightness like the sun
Come closer, touch her lips and let this sweetness be shalom

By your life, my love, revive me
Kiss my lips, restore, inspire me
O I have no love besides you
Always, only you - Shalom

Far away is my beloved, cling to me - Shalom
She will not be back tomorrow, but rest assured - Shalom
And when I lay my eyes upon you, safe again - Shalom

By your life, my love, revive me
Kiss my lips, restore, inspire me
O I have no love besides you
Always, only you - Shalom


City of Peace

And this is my song to Jerusalem
No city on earth so fair
Your wounds are as deep and as wide as the sea
But no jewel was ever so rare

Your gold gleams bright through refiner's fire
Your heart beats ever with mine
O City of Peace shall at last be true
Your vineyards shall flow with wine

And those who rage against you
Shall be as nothing at all
For I shall be always before you
And you shall answer my call

O comfort, comfort my people
Comfort with tender words
The time for mourning is over
No more weeping shall be heard

Now hear a voice of one calling
Prepare a way for the King
Make straight a path in the desert
For he has great tidings to bring

For the people who walked in darkness
Have seen a new day dawn
For unto us a son is given
And to us a child is born

And his kingdom shall last forever
The City of Peace shall dance
To the rhythm and song
Of the flute and the drum
As the celebration starts

City of Peace - Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim
City of Peace - Jerusalem

Our eyes can see mercy flow like a river
Love the Lord your God
With all your strength and might
With all your heart and soul
My people come
Teach my laws for life to your children
And walk with the words of life all around you
Every hope, every word,
Every promise, every dream
Has come true


Lift up your eyes
Lift up your eyes to the Lord
Lift up your eyes for as far as you see
To the North to the South to the West and the East


I Believe

If I become a storm
Or if I blaze in rebellion against Him
Is He not still the one who bleeding in my wounds
My cries still praise, my cries still praise

Can I then choose, even now
Not to believe in Him
For only to Him, only to Him
Can I cry out the cry of every vein and limb

Because He lives and wills
Because He does not sleep in rigid law
I cannot understand His deeds
At His feet my ashes lie, my ashes lie

We cannot let go of each other
not He of me, nor I of Him
You say "Israel" when you say "Elohim"

I believe He suffers with me
If I cry out against Him
With me He cries, with me He cries
