Hodu l'Adonai ki tov, 
ki lay'olam khas doe. 
Hodu l'Adonai ki tov, 
ki lay'olam khas doe. 
Hodu, hodu 
Hodu, hodu 
Hodu l'Adonai ki tov, 
Hodu, hodu 
Hodu, hodu 
Hodu l'Adonai ki tov.

Ki L'olam Chasdo

we are good.
we are flawed.
we are the breath of an imperfect god.

returning to self. returning to source.
god is change. god is growth. the process, in all it's beauty and all it's mess, is god.

Ana El Na/When the World Is Sick

Written by: Ma Muse
Sung by: Cadence
Lyrics:
We shall be known by the company we keep
By the ones who circle round to tend these fires
We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
The seeds of change alive from deep within the Earth

It is time now
It is time now that we thrive
It is time we lead ourselves into the well

It is time now
And what a time to be alive
In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love x2

Repeat all

In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love x2

We Shall Be Known

This a musical setting and vocal arrangement by Karen Escovitz of Lucille Clifton's poem "the lesson of the falling leaves." This recording was created only as a teaching tool for our havurah. The second song woven in is "Ozi v'zimrat yah" by Rabbi Shefa Gold

the lesson of the falling leaves

the leaves believe
such letting go is love
such love is faith
such faith is grace
such grace is god
i agree with the leaves

The Leaves Believe Clifton/Escovitz

The Hebrew refrain is from Psalms 3:5, and the English lyrics are inspired by verses from psalms 3 and 4

Lay Me Down in Peace

Cantor Jacob Niemi
