MESSIAH’S PRAYER
Joel Chernoff and Michael Wolf
(Matthew 6:10-15)
Teach us Lord, to watch and pray,
To live for You each day,
To lean on You so we don’t stray,
Teach us Lord to watch and pray.
Elohai Avinu
Our God who dwellest in the heavens,
We sanctify Your name,
We pray Your will,
Which fills the very depths of heaven,
Will fill the Earth the same.
For Thine is the Kingdom,
And the power,
For Thine is evermore.
A-vi-nu A-do-nai Tzid-ke-niu,
Fill us this hour with Your joy evermore.
Adonai Yireh
Ha-mo-tzi le-chem min ha-aretz,
Provide our means today,
O God of love,
Forgive us our iniquities,
And we will do the same.
Adonai Roeh,
The Shepherd who protects His own,
Keep our lives from all strife,
Shield our little ones,
Your children who are trusting in you,
From the enemy’s night.

IT IS HE
Joel Chernoff

Bo-neh Y’ru-sha-lay-im Adonai,
Nid-chei Yisrael y’cha-nes

Bo-neh Y’ru-sha-lay-im Adonai,
It is He who numbers the stars,
It is He who healeth the broken in heart,
It is He who binds up our wounds,
Great and mighty is He.
It is He who grants us the rain,
Waters the fields and gives us,
The grass and the grain,
Even when the young raven cries,
Great and mighty is He.
Lift up the Lord, Jerusalem,
And praise your God, O Zion,
For He has strengthened,
The bars of your gates,
And blessed your sons forever.
Translation:
The Lord builds up Jerusalem and
gathers the outcasts of Israel.

Can a woman forget her nursing child
Or fail to have compassion upon him?
She may forget, but know it or not,
Israel you are always before Me…
Behold I have engraved my people
On the palms of My hands
Your walls are always before me, Israel
How can I forget?
Thus saith the Lord, if the sun that lights the day,
Or the moon and stars that light the evening sky…
If these laws I forget or before me no more be,
Only then will I forget you, Israel…

And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed
All flesh shall see it together
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it
Has spoken it
