BARUCH HASHEM IT’S SHABBOS- Abie Rotenberg ft. Shloime Gertner- Composed by Abie Rotenberg, Concept by Motty Landau- Journeys 5
VERSE 1:
בְּזֵעַת אַפֶּיךָ is the fate of all mankind,
No one can avoid – the bustle and the grind.
Rushing to meetings – closing the deal,
On the phone on the road –
buying, selling, spinning wheels.
It’s easy to lose balance – chasing money and success
But there is a special treasure –
with which we have been blessed,
And as each day passes – joy fills the air
Waiting for the moment – to stand up and declare.
CHORUS 1:
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
In the candle’s glow – our neshomas grow –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
Once the wine is poured – we become restored –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
VERSE 2:
שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תַּעֲבֹד – for six days every week,
We work hard and struggle – just to make ends meet.
But once out of seven – we all become kings,
Who greet שַׁבָּת הַמַּלְכָּה – by rising up to sing.
CHORUS 2:
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
As we learn and pray – tension melts away –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
Home from shul we stride – with malachim at our side –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
VERSE 3:
I’m so stressed out at work –
when I hear the boss I jump.
To shop or go to shul – I’m always parking by a pump.
But all of the worry – goes down the drain
When my wife and children join me –
in singing the refrain.
CHORUS 3:
Boruch Hashem zis Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
Mir shteigen hecher – nenter tzum bashefer –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
Baruch Hashem Shabbat higiyah –
yom m’ranein u’margia
Matanah tovah – mayain olam habah –
Baruch Hashem Shabbat higiyah.
VERSE 4:
Shabbos is the day – we get to catch our breath
Making sure our lives have purpose –
with meaning and with depth.
Hashem loves us – knows just what we need,
So let these words be on the lips- of every single yid.
CHORUS 4:
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
We were placed on earth – for eternal worth –
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos.
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos –
heiliger, tayerer Shabbos,
As much as all of the above –
we get to bond with those we love…
And there’s one more plus –
our parents spend more time with us!
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos!
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos!
Baruch Hashem it’s Shabbos!
Shabbat Shalom – Gut Shabbos!
