Lyrics

The Lord Is Our God
© Issachar Tal van Kekem

chorus:
Agnize and internalize
As an undeniable FACT
That God exists and that He and you
Have a blood-signed pact
Carved in heart and skin
Do not resign, do not stoop to sin

How could man decry
Or even merely deny
God’s might and control?
His love is heart-whole!
Not a thing can occur
Without His intent:
You may dissent, you may lament
But, in the end,
You WILL, FULLHEARTEDLY, consent!

Unify the Lord in six directions
Each and every day
Utter the six worded benedictions
And on the last one stay
Enthrone the Lord above and below
And ensure that all will know
North, West, South, and East
That remaining His priest
Delivers a life-long feast!

The six directions equal the first six Emanations
Through which the Infinite reveals itself to man:
Chessed – kindness and clemency
Gvurah – strength and courage
Tif’erret – beauty and magnificence
Netsach – victory eternity
Hod – glory and splendor
Yesod – foundation and formation

Let the waters under Heaven be gathered to a single place
And let all our brethren be gathered in His good grace
HE is that one place
And there need not be ANY space
Between Him and you
He loves you, and you love Him too
