A Song for Raising Consciousness

Psalm 130
R. Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

From the deepest place in me I call You forth
Yah hear what is in my voice
Let Your ear hear the pleading tone
If You, Yah, were to watch for sins
Oy Yah--who could stand it_
Though You are so generous with pardon
We are too scared to seek it.
Still I hope Yah
My very soul hopes for it
Please send me Your loving word.

Among the watchers for the dawn
Yah, am I yearning for Your Grace
to end my darkness.
Israel looks to You Yah
You are so gracious, Yah
So much do you free us all.

Yes, He will definitely free Israel
from all its sins.
