A Child Alone on the ShoreA child alone on the shore Waving a light up so high To signal a ship that no one can see In a rough empty ocean and vast darkened sky. As every sailor passed by They questioned the boy with the light, “Why little one do you stand at your post There is nothing and no one in sight?” The young boy looked up his face all aglow And waved his small lantern above and below. Please wait here with me, the ship we will see, “Dear child explain to us how do you know?” “I’m firm in my faith, the answer is clear I’m so very certain the ship will appear. The captain has told me and promised he’ll come Of course I believe him, for I am his son.” The Rebbe, our captain, his promise will keep Knowing a chossid’s emunah proclaims, “I’m firm in my faith the answer is clear, V’hu yigoleinu - omein.” A Soul A Great FireA soul a great fire with burning desire Reaching the depth of our souls, Awakens a nation, a firm realization Moshiach our eyes to behold. Feelings of pain fanned by the flame Confused ,our lives torn apart. Children divided now stand united Determined to fulfill our part. Ovinu Malkeinu how can you endure The pain of the Nossi Hador Hashem have rachmonus, lemaancha asei Send the Geulah today. Oy! Yechi Adoneinu, his royal majesty, Melech b’yofyo let’s see After so many years of being concealed The Rebbe, Moshiach revealed. Hushed Is The AirHushed is the air the, silence is soft Last words of kaddish are borne aloft, Our eyes raised to face The melech’s balcony place The curtains still closed My mind starts to race. The thought is resounding again and again How can I take a moment of your pain To see my Rebbe I wait and I thirst The pain and the love My heart wants to burst.
“Oy Rebbe,” my heart shouts “I’ll be all you want me to be” And for a short moment my heart skips a beat My eyes the Rebbe’s do meet. A moment that tells me to keep on be strong Mein kind it won’t be for long.
The singing is thunder yechi hamelech it grows, Our melech will rise with a swing of the hand United the whole world will stand, We rise up triumphant with one voice it’s said Yechi hamelech l’oilom voed. A Generation So Very Young(T.T.T.O. Boi V’Shalom - Dveikus) Is given a mission so great To bring back the Shchinah in to this world A Dirah to create.
The world knows Moshiach is here We have fulfilled what has been the goal For two thousand years. But Rebbe although you have taught us Given us strength and assured us Geulah is finally here Still to our eyes it is not very clear. There’s only one way to reveal it To bring it to life and to feel it Adapting our lives to a way The reality of Geulah filling our day. And Rebbe with you we do Daven We sit with you by your Farbrengen With all of our might we do scream Yechi Hamelech we live with our king. A Small and Weary NationA small and weary nation set adrift Their walls of pride were trembling in their midst Their hopefulness their dream of joy A life so very dear Lost behind a curtain of despair
Their curtain loomed so threatening to their eyes They threw away their yiddishkeit They said there is no way Moshiach, no, he cannot come today
And lovingly he held them in his hand He spoke to them, encouraged them He showed them what to do The words that touched the heart of every Jew
Milchemes Hashem fighting every day The stumbling block, the curtains part The light comes shining through The Rebbe our Moshiach Tzidkeinu
Amidst my longing and pain All the good things I do To be closer to you And be with you again.
To bring Moshiach this is the way Achdus with friends More Torah each day Living Moshiach in every way.
Your chossid I strive to be Your will’s all that matters Connected forever I’ll be.
Now is the time to do As I put down my pen This letter I end I’ll put these words into effect.
Broken, without hope A nation is enslaved Their one and only dream is to be saved. Beaten, and oppressed Lives taken away Victims of hard labor day by day.
A light shines from his face His feeling of warmth they do embrace.
Suffer you will no more Doubt rises, can this be what we’re waiting for.
Moshe our Rebbe - yes! he must be the one In order to be ready we must prepare At any second the Rebbe can appear. Oy Rebbe we know that you are the one We trust in your message that Geulah has already come You will redeem us, we do declare This helps us for Geulah to prepare. Download 0.87 Mb.
