Shma Israel…..
When the heart cries only God hears The pain rises from the soul A man falls down before he sinks He cuts the silence with a small prayer
Shma Israel, my God, you are the mighty one You gave me my life you gave me everything A tear in my eyes, the heart cries in silence And when the heart is silent the soul cries out Shma Israel, my God, I am all alone now Make me strong, my God, so I will not be afraid The pain is great and there is no where to run Make it end, I don’t have any strength left
When the heart cries time stands still
A man sees his life passing in front of him
He doesn’t want to go to the unknown
He calls his God as he stands on the edge of the deep
