SONG OF ONE HEART

Min resa var mot solen, långt bortom alla slutna rum

Där allting är oändligt, och alla gränser har förevigt suddats ut

Jag ville se miraklet och höra ord som föder liv

Bli buren av en styrka, som bara växer när jag anat mitt motiv

Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn

Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt

Och så när allt förändrats, när tiden inte längre finns

Så ser jag oss tillsammans, och då är resan slut

Det enda som vi minns

Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn

Ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt

Stad i ljus, i ett land utan namn

Ge, ge mig liv, där allting föds på nytt

FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOUL, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.

CLOSING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: In gratitude for 7 ascents after The Amidah

Blessed are you, Adonai ….
