VEZAKEINI- Baruch Levine, Benny Friedman, New York Boys Choir & Shir V’shevach Boys Choir-
Composed by Miriam Israeli & Baruch Levine, Lyrics by Miriam Israeli- Bonei Olam Single 2020

VERSE 1:
As I stand in candlelight
With my hands upon my eyes
There’s a passion in my prayers
That rends the skies,
For a mother’s tears can shatter
Every gate that bars the way
All the heavens will echo those words that mothers say.

CHORUS 1:
וְזַכֵּנִי וְזַכֵּנִי
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray,
May they know You as I know You
Oh, Hashem , accept my plea
Give me children who’ll give nachas
To You and to me
וְזַכֵּנִי

VERSE 2:
As I stand in candlelight
While my home is dark and still
There’s a void inside my heart
I long to fill,
Will I ever be mother
Will that blessing come my way
Will I stand by the candles
With gratitude and pray.

CHORUS 2:
וְזַכֵּנִי וְזַכֵּנִי
Take my children by the hand
Help them walk along Your way
May they never go astray,
May they know You as I know You
Oh, Hashem , accept my plea
Give me children who’ll give nachas
To You and to me
וְזַכֵּנִי
