Lyrics

The first Zohar - 15 – Set Us As A Seal Upon Your Heart
© Issachar Tal van Kekem

Set us as a seal… upon Your heart!

The love of Israel… for the Lord
Is love it feels… of its own accord!
It is love born from reflection:
It is gratitude, true affection:
It will not be affected… by any distraction!

The love of the Lord… for His nation
Is nearly as old… as Creation!
It is love born from intention:
It is purpose, and intervention:
It will never be the subject… of abstention!

Chorus:
Set us as a seal… upon Your heart!
Set us as a seal… upon Your arm!
Set us as a seal… on Your forehead!
You will lead us… where demons cannot tread…

Chorus:

Even when removed, even in captivity,
Nothing will degrade our proclivity
To honor, to worship, and to sanctify:
Your holy Name, we will magnify!

Chorus:

Holy, holy, holy, be Your Name!
Eternal will be Your fame!
Our longing for You, will always be aflame!
Our love for You, every day we will proclaim!
