Echoes Of Jerusalem

We hear the sounds of the city Jerusalem beneath our feet In our hearts, the echoes rise A thousand voices, past and deep Seeping up through ancient stones The rhythm turns to sacred tones The beats become the words we speak Shema, Israel, hear and believe Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, He is One No other stands, no rival reigns—there is none Through the years, through joy and pain Still, we rise and we proclaim Adonai Echad! He is One Through the decades, through the dust Through the battles, through the trust Every prayer, every tear Still, His presence lingers here Seeping up through ancient stones The rhythm turns to sacred tones The beats become the words we speak Shema, Israel, hear and believe We gladly lay down our lives For the word that never dies His kingdom stands, His word remains Forevermore, we sing His praise Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, He is One No other stands, no rival reigns—there is none Through the years, through joy and pain Still, we rise and we proclaim Adonai Echad! He is One Shema, Israel Shema
