Amen Amen (Nehemiah 8:6)

We intended this project to be a revisiting of some old favorites, songs that we weren't quite finished with, yet...but we were surprised to find that there were some new songs which insisted on being included. What we ended up with is a musical picture of our relationship with God. He is keeping us grounded in the past but always looking to our future.

Asaph wrote in Psalm 78 that he would share everything he had heard and been told by the generation before him concerning the greatness of God and His deeds performed on behalf of Israel. We live in a world that is obsessed with all things new, and at times it seems that we are sacrificing our firm foundation for the latest trend. God calls us to hold onto that glorious tension between remembering the past, living in the present, and looking in hope towards His future for us. We pray that our music will help remind you of how God has moved in your past and that it will give you a sense of hope for your present and your future.

HEAR O ISRAEL
Music and Lyrics by Adalya Hadar / Copyright 2005 & 2015 Hadar Publications

Hear, O Israel, hear all peoples of the earth.
The LORD our God, the LORD is One.
Blessed be His Name.

And you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart.
Love Him with all your soul and strength, love Him with all your mind.
Yes, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart.
And you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Chorus

The LORD our God is holy, the LORD our God is true.
There is no one like Him, there is none so beautiful.

LIFTED UP

Lift up your hands, O lift up your hands,
Lift up your hands and rejoice in His Name.
Lift up your hands, O lift up your hands,
Lift up your hands and sing praises to Him.

DEEP PEACE

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
( Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you. )

See the waves, breathe the air, feel the earth, gaze at the stars.
Let Him hold you, let His arms enfold you, feel His presence surround you now.

BENEDICTION
Music by Adalya Hadar / Lyrics based on Numbers 6:24-26 / Copyright 2005 & 2015

You will be blessed when you fear the LORD, when you walk in His ways.
The LORD will keep you from all evil, He will keep, keep your soul.
His Face will shine, shine on you, it will shine like the sun.
He will be gracious and full of tender mercies, He will be full of compassion.

May the LORD bless you, may the LORD keep you;
May the LORD make His Face shine upon you.
May the LORD be gracious unto you;
May the LORD lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace, and give you peace.

When you know the joyful sound, you will walk in the light of God's countenance.
His peace He will give you you; true peace, not the peace of this world.
