LEV TAHOR (A PURE HEART)
Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen
Based upon the Fifty-first Psalm
Hear my cry, give heed to my prayer,
Oh Lord in heaven, for I call upon Your Name.
And when I’m dry, come fill me with
The waters of Yeshua, for I only trust in Your Name.
Lev tahor b’rah lee
(Create a pure heart for me)
Ruakh na-khon khadaysh b’keer-bee.
(Renew a right spirit within me)
Create O Lord, a heart for Thee;
Renew O God, Your Spirit in me!
Al tash-lee-khayni* meel-fanekha
(Do not cast me away from Your Presence;)
Ruakh nakhon kha-daysh b’keer-bee
(Renew a right spirit within me)
Draw near, O God!
I only rejoice in Your nearness.
Renew O God, Your Spirit in me!
[* On the album, the singer mispronounced ” ahl tash-lee-khayni” as “ahl teesh-la-khayni.”
HALLELU
Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen
Inspired by Joel 2 and Zechariah 10
Hallelu, Oh halle-hallelu, hallelujah!
Hallelu, Oh halle-hallelu, hallelujah!
Give us rain, Oh Lord, send Your rain!
Let Your Spirit wash our hearts with power, with Your power!
Make us new, make us vessels, Lord, for You!
Let the name of God be our strong tower!
Make us strong, make our words a joyous song!
Let the chains fall from Our hearts in praise, in Your praise!
And through Your son, and the Victory that He won,
Make us, Lord, to walk in your ways!
Lift Him up! Oh, lift Yeshua up!
Let the eyes of Yisrael behold Your Son!
Messiah, King and the Lord of everything!
Let Jacob call on the Holy One!
