Sh’ma Elohai (Hear My God)
Here’s another tune to carry the week, and this one is most touching.
When the heart cries
only God hears
The pain rises out of the soul
A man falls down before he sinks down
With a little prayer (he) cuts the silence
Sh’ma (Hear) Israel my God,
you’re the omnipotent
You gave me my life,
you gave me everything
In my eyes a tear,
the heart cries quietly
And when the heart is quiet,
the soul screams
Sh’ma (Hear) Israel my God,
now I am alone
Make me strong my God;
make it that I won’t be afraid
The pain is big,
and there’s no where to run away
End it because I can’t take it anymore
(make the end of it because I have no more energy left within me)
When the heart cries,
Time stands still
All of a sudden, the man sees his entire life
He doesn’t want to go to the unknown
He cries to his God right before a big fall

Interesting blog. I went to Israel this Summer and hope to go back in December.

Thank you for visiting, mate.
Wow, that must have been some trip. I haven’t been to Israel myself, but hope to one day, soon.

I’ve always wanted to go to Israel. Maybe someday I’ll go with my church. Wish I had the money and I wish I wasn’t so warm blooded. Beautiful song, though. Really liked it. I’m one of those people that most think are strange because as bad as they are at learning other languages, they love listening to other languages.

Same here, mate, I’ve been longing to go to Israel for the longest time!
And, like you, I prefer to have everything in its original language, be it song or movie. Especially movies, actually. Because the intonation and emotion carried in the original language will always better than what a dubbing artist can pull off.

The urge for healing and human creation is divine. It always surprises me when people feel that spirituality and astrology are in conflict. I believe that nothing could be futher from the truth. In my discovery, they are both the same, and this has led me to my soulmate
