Yaakov Chesed

It's been so long since I've come to you

And there's only one thing I need to do

So I reach down deep inside of me

Find the one thing that I really need

Shivty biveis Hashem kol yimei Chayai

So bring me into your sanctuary of love

And bring me hope

That comes from high above

And breathe in deeply the sweet air

Of endless love that I find there

From high above

I was sent here

Against my will

Thrown into this body

Where I can't feel

Your love your light

I have to fight fight past

This evil pressing me

Holding me back

Hold on, I must hold onto

Fight on, I have to fight through

This life, this passage to the next world

But as I stay here

I grow weak it's getting harder

My future's bleak

But I know I know

That I must fight

Wage a war against this darkening light

A mother's pain her children crying

Trying hard not to let go

Soldiers fight, people dying

Sacrifice not to let go

They will try to hold us down

But we must fight and stand our ground

If your faith is lost it must be found

We must fight and stand our ground

Guns are fired by our soldiers

Torah studied by our learners

Bullets aimed here among us

Prayers aimed high above us

From a nation so strong, exiled so long

All this time we've tried to find you

To call to you call to you

Tzama licha nafshi kama licha bisari
Be'Eretz tzia bli mayim
("My soul thirst for you, longs for you does my flesh; in a land weary and dry of water," Tehilim 63)

I call to you call to you

Now that I find myself lost in the dark

I use all my strength to ignite a spark

With the light I find in the darkness

I use it to fight my weakness

And with nothing left to do

I call to you call to you...

There's a feeling I can't ignore

It's a feeling I've felt before

And I know I've sung this a thousand times

But I can't seem to get this off of my mind

No matter how hard I try

I throw my hands up towards the sky and I

Think I now know why I feel like I can....

Now I know I can be all that I am

Cause I'm with you

Now I know I can be all that I am

Cause I'm with you, I'll fly with you

From a place down below I gotta

Climb high to reach my goal, I wanna

Fight past, break down the falls

That are holding me, holding me down

I know it's not going to be

Easy or unachievable to find it's not unbelievable

That I found....

Gam kee eylech bigay tzalmaves lo eira rah kee ata eemadi

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I fear no evil because you are with me (Tehillim 23)

I'm standing here now
This is what you see
The image you call human
A fallacy called me
I'm holding onto hope

Reaching out for love
Searching for my purpose
The way to rise above
I look inside and see my imperfections
I know that I can be so much more
I know that I know I am only human

But my soul cleaves for so much more
If there is so much more to me that I don't see
And searching for my purpose is harder than it seems
Help me show me I need you now
Hashem if im a relfection of you
Help me figure out

How to release my imperfections
And finally see that I'm so much more
I know that I know I am only human
But my soul cleaves for so much more
Now I can release my imperfections
And finally see that I'm so much more

I know that I know I am only human
But my soul cleaves for so much more

It doesn't matter how
It doesn't matter where
It doesn't matter with who

It doesn't even compare

Open up your eyes 

Shut down your mind
Open up your heart 

Just leave it all behind

Who cares what door you're coming in from
As long as you're inside
Good luck my friend
Goodbye 


Enjoy the ride
The longer that you wait

The more that you may find

The more that is at stake

Just makes you lose your mind


chorus

He wakes up in the night
Looks into his baby's eyes
And he'd do anything for him
The child begins to cry

He doesn't realize
That his fathers standing over him
We may not realize our father watching us
We may not see his eyes but he sure sees us
Chasdei hashem ki lo samnu
Ki lo Chalu Rachamav

When he needs a helping hand
He reaches out for Him guides us to the very land
That our fathers were given
He reaches into my soul
Helps me open my eyes
Brings life to this world

Helps me realize
Hush little baby don't you cry
Your father won't say goodbye
Hush little world don't you cry
Your father won't say goodbye

Chasdei...

I see you with me
Everywhere I go it's all
All around me you're
All around me be
One with me
Every time and place I

Can't live without you
Can't be without you
You you are my one and only
Me creator my only savior
You you are my once and only
My creator my only savior

I look around me
Sing to the empty world outside
Empty people
People feel so empty
See all creation
Every person everything

Every moment
You're in every moment
You you are my one and only
My creator my only savior
You you are my own and only
My creator my only savior

We may be tarnished
We may be bent
But we still have four doors to our tent
Our fathers tent
We have a voice the torah

We have a weapon teffilah
Hakol kol yaakov
Hakol kol yaakov
Vihayedayim Eisav
Our hands are soiled from all our sins
But we shouldn't give up because of them

Hakol kol hakol kol
Vehayedayim Vehayedayim Eisav
Father in heaven
Open up to me
See my hands soiled
Hear my soul it's toiled

Father in heaven
Open up to me
Hear hakol kol
Yaakov
I feel uncertain
And I feel lost

That must be the cost of all my sins
I open my hear and I breathe in
Exhale the voice held deep within
Hakol Kol Hakol Kol
Yaakov
Chorus

We've been holding back our voice
Help us to bring back our voice
We've been holding back our voice
Help us to bring back our voice

Someone showed me a reel the other day
They were fighting they were fighting
I tried so hard to look the other way
I couldn't take it my people dying everyday

What hurts the most is that I sit here
While they fear while they're in fear
Cry out  I cry out
Lord I can't take it anymore
I just can't take it

Hold onto love strong
And pray for strength to find your peace
Hold onto love strong and pray for strength
To find your peace again
If people believe all that they see on TV
They could lose it

My nation made out to be the enemy
Just remember who you swore to defeat
When the towers fell down
Hold onto love strong
And pray for strength to find your peace
Hold onto love strong and pray for strength to

Find your peace again
I am holding on
I am holding on
I am holding on
I am holding on

So much beauty surrounds you
But you're so confused

You're so lost
The flowers and valleys hypnotize you
But you're so used
You're so cold
I've been looking my whole life
In search of salvation for my situation

And through a crack in my heart there shines a light
A contemplation about my nation
The world feeds me nothing
I'm starving from the outside in
Cuz I feel so empty and I don't know where to begin
Cuz I've been starving grabbing whatever I can

To fill me up with my sound again
So much beauty surrounds you
But you're so confused
You're so lost
The flowers and valleys hypnotize you
But you're so used

You're so cold
Now that I'm getting old
A little wiser and I can hold onto a sound
A remnant from years old
Cold eyes stare me up and down
But I don't frown cuz ive been crowned

A servant of a holy sound
A servant of a holy ground
So much beauty surrounds you
But you're so confused
You're so lost
The flowers and valleys hypnotize you

But you're so used
You're so cold
