LYRICS:
I sought HASHEM and G-d answered me, and from all my terrors G-d saved me. [People] turned to G-d and became radiant, and their faces will never become downcast. [Psalms 34:5-6]... Be in awe of HASHEM, holy people of G-d, because those who are in awe lack nothing. Even lions crave and are left hungry, but those who seek HASHEM will never lack any good thing. [Psalms 34:10-11]
דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־ה' וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גֽוּרוֹתַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ [תהלים לד:ה-ו] … יְר֣אוּ אֶת־ה' קְדֹשָׁ֑יו כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַ֝חְס֗וֹר לִֽירֵאָֽיו׃ כְּ֭פִירִים רָשׁ֣וּ וְרָעֵ֑בוּ וְדֹֽרְשֵׁ֥י ה' לֹֽא־יַחְסְר֥וּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ [תהלים לד:י-יא]ו
Darashti et HASHEM va-anani u-mikol m'gurotai hitzilani. Hibitu eylav v'naharu u-f'neyhem al yechparu. Yr'u et HASHEM k'doshav ki eyn machsor li'rey-av. K'firim rashu v'ra-eyvu v'dorshey HASHEM lo yach's'ru chol tov.

LYRICS:
You transformed my sorrow into dancing. You unraveled my sackcloth and filled me with happiness[.] so that I might sing tribute to You and never stop. HASHEM is my G-d, I will thank You forever. [Psalms 30:12-13]
הָפַ֣כְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי֮ לְמָח֪וֹל לִ֥י פִּתַּ֥חְתָּ שַׂקִּ֑י וַֽתְּאַזְּרֵ֥נִי שִׂמְחָֽה׃ לְמַ֤עַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם ה' אֱ֝לֹקַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ׃ [תהלים ל:יב-יג]ו
Hafachta mispedi le-machol li pitachta saki va-t'azreyni simcha. Le-maan y'zamercha chavod ve-lo yidom AMONAI elokai le-olam odeka.
I try to talk to G-d every chance that I get
When I don't know what to pray, I just say where I'm at
Thanks for eating, breathing, teething, or just being my Creator
Thanks for taking me out, and bringing me back home later
People always run to You, when they feel depressed
And they tune You right out when they're doing their best
'Cause this world is a mess
I can't stay 'till the end
Then I place my request and it starts to make sense
Thanks for stuffing in my breath so that I can breathe out
When I'm out and about and I feel real devout
I remember Your rain makes every blade of grass spout
You gave me basically everything
From my body and my soul
To my questioning
You're the reason that we praise
Your'e the reason that we cry
Raise us up
Let us sleep
And when it's the right time
We die
That's all there is
That's all there is
That's all there is...
(You took my grief
Unmade the mess
Opened up my darkened clothes
And turned them to a sack of happiness)
You created this world and everything in it, too
So that means every time I dance, I'm dancing with You

And HASHEM said to Abram, “Get yourself going” [Genesis 12:1]
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר ה֙' אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם לֶךְ־לְךָ֛ [בראשית יב:א]ו
Va-yomer HASHEM el Avram, lech le-cha
Avram says I’m beautiful
So much so
He hides me away
But now I'm growing old
And it’s time to go
Should I laugh, or should I pray?
But this land that will be ours
Where sons are just like stars
We’re blindly told to go
To somewhere we don’t know
To live without blame
There's a promise made
That will never fade
Revealed in our new names
[breakdown- Abraham, Sarah]
So it's time for us to leave
With souls who now believe
It's not beauty, not royalty that keeps me going
But a Voice that's worth hearing, a path You’re showing
It's not just a land that we're walking to
But the journey itself is where we prove ourselves to You
Now it's time for us to leave
and live what we believe

Shake off the dust, rise up! Put on your clothes of magnificence, My people.
By the hand of the son of Jesse of Beit Lechem, come closer to My redeeming soul.
Wake up, wake up! Your light has come, so rise up and shine it.
Awaken, awaken and sing a song. The glory of HASHEM has been revealed on you.

Uri uri shir daberi, k'vod HASHEM alayich nigla.

LYRICS:
Who can retell the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age, a hero or sage
Came to our aid.
Hark!
In days of yore in Israel's ancient land
Brave Maccabeus led the faithful band
But now all Israel must as one arise
Redeem itself through deed and sacrifice.
מי ימלל גבורות ישראל
אותן מי ימנה
הן בכל דור יקום הגיבור
גואל העם
שמע
בימים ההם בזמן הזה
מכבי מושיע ופודה
ובימינו כל עם ישראל
יתאחד, יקום ויגאל
Mi yimalel gevurot Yisrael,
Otan mi yimne?
Hen be'chol dor yakum ha'gibor
Goel ha'am.
Shma!

U'v'yameinu kol am Yisrael
Yitached yakum ve'yigael!

A young lad stands, stands and thinks
Thinks and thinks a whole night
Whom to take and not to shame
Whom to take and not to shame
Girl, girl, I want to ask of you
What can grow, grow without rain?
What can burn and never end?
What can yearn; cry without tears?
Foolish lad, why do you have to ask?
A stone can grow, grow without rain
Love can burn and never end
A heart can yearn; cry without tears
