Though the toil is long
And my suffering extended
My eyes are fixed on G-d
For his ways are my ways

To a place of understanding

To send me clear decision

That includes this learning

It's a path I must
And I know on the trail of trials
I will learn to trust

6. My Friend, My Friend

Two people shorten a road
As they make trips together

And make each other better

We share our deepest thoughts
We know each others ways
We feel for how each fought

My friend, cherished friend
What you mean to me you know

From our own place and view
You see yourself in me

Let our lives reflect the master
As we join our souls this day
Bless this union for a lifetime
Grant us mercy guide our way

Guitar Instrumental

Our years spent aged together
Reflections of hours and days
A love built to last forever
A lifetime founded in G-ds ways

8. So My Love

As the water cuts a path
through hard and solid stone
So my love, my heart will seek you,
you and you alone

As the stars ablaze in heaven
bright among what's dark and cold
So my love, my eyes will meet you,
My love for you is bold

So my love, can I express
The place you have with me
For as vast as the wilderness
And as DEEP  the shining sea

As the snow is gently fallen
covering the earth below
So my love, my arms will reach you,
As far as you may go

As the wind it carries time
Blowing cares to and fro
So my love, your burdens lifted
I'll hold them this you know

So my love, can I express
The place you have with me
For as vast as the wilderness
And as deep  the shining sea
Are the lengths I will endure
For our love so deep and pure

Though the day and night are separate,
They rely on each to be
So my love, our lives together
The gift G-d gave to me

So my love, our lives together
The gift G-d gave to me

9. Your Hand In Mine

The first moment I could touch you
Were most precious indeed
My hand will hold yours a lifetime
With my touch meet your needs

As you test and break away
My touch will reinsure
Exploring the world around you
Hands together we’re sure

You're out and on your own this day
Hands alone by your side
I will always be here with you
Holding hands on this ride

Chorus
Your hand a promise of all that can be
Your touch brings life to the core of me
Your hand a guide to all that I see
Your touch brings god's holy light to me

Instrumental

Grown and away, your touch is distant
Still feel you in my heart
My child I love and respect you deeply
Together when were apart

My hands are tired, aged and worn
Not as strong as I was
With your touch my life returns
This is what our love does

10. The Greatest Gift

The Salvation Song

The greatest gifts we have to give
Are the ones sent far away
The ones that reach the end time
Are the ones lived day to day

The gifts that guide the hearts of man
Are the ones we can not pay
The brightest gifts that shine above
Are the ones that light our way

The greatest gift G-d could give
Forgiveness, hope and love
Messiahs selfless sacrifice
The gift from our father above

11. These Days

Verse 1
I have been blessed in many ways
One of which are the number of days
When I was young I thought each one endless
Now I question and spend them restless
I wish my wasted times renewed
My desire more moments with you

Verse 2
People have gone and people have come
Places I've been and the faces there from
Each one a place there marks were made
But the things of this world they will fade
Many possessions from over the earth
None of which one more day is worth

Chorus
If I could look back
How I spent my days
I would ask for the eyes of today
Eyes of knowledge, the sight of the sages
L-rd how I wish for the wisdom of ages
Repeat

Instrumental

Verse 3
The journey has been as a blink of an eye
The years were filled with both low and high
I have marveled the wonders creation
Mourned at the worlds humiliation
This life is but a grain of sand
The ocean lead by the L-rd's own hand

12. Take Me Home

Gilah - The joy that comes with the completion of a long process

Take me home Abba father
To the place that I long
For my soul I've entrusted
In your arms I belong

Though this day may have sorrow
I rejoice with Gilah
This completes my long process
To know just who you are

Your grace and compassion
Will sustain through these days
One year set for mourning
Who can question your ways

My days you have numbered
Each one held your hand
My Yeshua My salvation
In his rest I will stand

 

My soul our L-rd has granted
My life to him
To him My life belongs

 

 

One From Many Album Lyrics

1. One From Many

Echad - one from many
Kulanu k-echad
All of us as one together
Kulanu k-echad

One by one, we are bound together
Separate yet whole, a community
Linked sons and daughters forever
a painted portrait of unity

A joining of souls, a common goal
Jew and Gentile formed to band
Shared identity, parts made whole
One symphony, conducted by his hand

2. Nachumu Ami

Y'rushalayim, Jerusalem
Y'rushalayim I long to gather you in

Nachamu Ami Nachamu Artzi
Dab' ru al lev Yisrael ekra a'leah
Hachayim Yeshua hechinah haderech
Mashiach Yeshua, ki l'cha hu shilem
Sh'ma, v'kabel v'kaness o Tziyon lo

Y'rushalayim, Jerusalem
Y'rushalayim I long to gather you in
Y'rushalayim, Jerusalem
Y'rushalayim I long to gather you in

Comfort them, my people -Console my nation
Speak to their heart, Israel -Call out to her
The life of Yeshua has prepared the way
Messiah Yeshua, for your life he paid
Listen, receive, gathered o Zion you'll be

3. The Wall

Millions before me
The chosen people
Have placed their hands
On this same wall
They ask their G-d
To hear their prayers
I feel them calling
From long ago

Ancient foundations
A faith deep rooted
Believing their G-d
Will send an answer
Each generation
Holds to the promises
A path before them
Their holy journey

My prayer I offer
For all my people
That they will answer
G-d's open call
Atonement waits for them
Arms spread wide open
Loving Messiah
Sacrifice for all

In this land of stones and walls
He seeks his people Israel
To bring them
the cornerstone
Dry the eyes of Israel

4. Yhi Ratzon

Y'hi ratzon milfanecha

O L-rd, our G-d
May it be your will
O L-rd, our G-d
O L-rd, our G-d
May it be your will
O L-rd, our G-d
May it be your will

Remove all the barriers
Between our souls and you
Repel us from evil,
Make us pure in all we do

Salvation and mercy
Redemption by your hand
Your body broken
Your blood poured for your land

6. Lest We Forget
Guitar Instrumental
7. Yad Vashem

I close my eyes at Yad Vashem
I picture me as one of them
How can evil be so real
How can human hearts not feel

I see the face of every child
Innocent so meek and mild
How can evil be so strong
Show them L-rd you'll right this wrong

And I thank my G-d and remember
Answers for my questions why I came
Each survivor a jewel and a treasure
For each descendant I praise your name

I hear a nation scream your name
A people plagued with trials and pain
How did we remain so true
Our hope is not in men but you

And we thank our G-d and remember
Answers for our questions why we came
Each survivor a jewel and a treasure
For each descendant we praise your name

for each descendant I praise your name

11. One Man

Can a man stand alone for you
Can one voice change this world
Will you honor one life, a legacy
Will his work leave mankind new

One voice in the wilderness
sent to change man's heart
can he speak to your people
will he serve and not depart

Though the people mock and scorn him
Messiah's life speaks true
He leaves each one he touches
Never broken but made new

One day we did not see him
For his work had all been done
He prepares a place in heaven
Leaving multitudes from one

This man has stood for you
His voice has changed this world
We honor messiah's legacy
Seeds sown and souls renewed
Can a man stand
Will a man stand
Yes this man
(this man)
Lives for you

12. Seven

In the beginning, G-d created heaven and earth
And the earth was formless empty and void

Spirit of G-d,
moved upon the waters
Let there be light
divide the night from day
Separate the waters,
define earth and sky

Seas and oceans, water flowing, plants yielding seeds
Living water, sins forgiven, meeting every need
Our Messiah given freely for man to receive

G-d placed the stars to light the heavens above
Let them mark the seasons, days and years

Spirit of G-d,
placed the sun and moonlight
Rule day and night
record the passing time
Birds take to flight, sea life bountiful

Life abundant, wild and docile, creatures great small
Let us make man in our image, rule the earth below
G-d's salvation laid before us, for man to believe

(And it was good)
And completed
(And it was good)
Then He rested
(And it was good)
The day is holy

The L-rd has given us the Sabbath, Let us take hold
You illuminate creation, Your glory shines

(Key Tov)
Highest Counsel
(Key Tov)
MightyGod
(Key Tov)
Eternal Father
Our soul finds rest in our Messiah
The Prince of Peace
