My Adonai

 

Lord, you alone rule

The Earth’s your footstool

And you alone are worthy of my praise

Your kingdom of priests

Prisoners released

In our freedom we yearn to be your slaves.

 

Serve you I will

Serve you until

In you. I am laid to rest

Iwill bow down

Casting my crown

Before the one I have confessed.

 

My Adonai

Lord of All, Lord of my life

and Lord of the wherefore and the why

My Adonai

Lord of the future and Lord of the past

Draw us at last to your side.

 

Oh my master master me

Pierce my  h ear against the lentil of your door

Master I adore the service you have made me for

A servant of the Most High for eternity…

 

I bend my knee

And so I am free

To finally do what is right

On you I wait

I stand by the gate

Where the lost enter into the light

 

My Adonai

Lord of All, Lord of my life

and Lord of the wherefore and the why

My Adonai

Lord of the future and Lord of the past

Draw us at last to your side.
