i'd rather pray and sing - mordechai ben david lyrics

Loading...

i sit in darkness
remembering the light
of the bais hamikdosh standing
my father’s delight
i am a son yearning
a child who is returning
to my father’s embrace
to the shechinah hakedosha’s face

i don’t want a thing
i’d rather pray and sing
i’d rather tell the story
of your holiness and glory
i don’t need a thing
i’d rather pray and sing
i’d rather tell the story
of your holiness and glory.

you turned your face away
here just left me in despair
your commandments i didn’t obey
i know it’s not unfair
but father please turn back
now i know your torah is right
please give me the strength that i lack
in the yetzer harah’s fight.

you sent me to repent
to purify my soul
well now my head is bent
my heart’s a burning coal
i’ve been wandering two thousand years
i was driven away from my home
i shed a few million tears
while in pain you watched me roam.

i know the time is now
i can feel it in my bones
father please show me how
a sinful soul atones
now i’ll just sing until the schechina stops crying
until we all stop sighing
and soon we’ll all be home
in yerushalyim habenuyah
