HINEINI- Sung & Composed by Mordechai Ben David, Lyrics by Leah (Gertzulin) Reiss- Hineni

A dark cloud of despair surrounds your heart
Disillusion with life your face imparts
You are wandering in a world of confusion
Reality is hidden behind the web of illusion.

CHORUS:
So my brothers, put your faith in the Above
Say “Hineni,” I am ready to serve You with love.

The truth lies at the end of a forest dense
Your heart is your compass, your spiritual sense
Let it lead you along the right road
And let the words of the Torah be your navigational code.

CHORUS:
So my brothers, put your faith in the Above
Say “Hineni,” I am ready to serve You with love.

Our father Abraham was called by G-D to sacrifice his son
With the cry of Hineni the deed was done
Now what will become of our father’s devotion
If we won’t say Hineni in our every emotion.

CHORUS:
So my brothers, put your faith in the Above
Say “Hineni,” I am ready to serve You with love.

Our forefathers smiled as they died in peace
But the cries they began will never cease
The words they cried shook the heavens above.
They said Hineni, we are here with love.

CHORUS:
So my brothers, put your faith in the Above
Say “Hineni,” I am ready to serve You with love.
