Glory be to the great name of God, Amen
All through the world created by Divine will, may God be sole sovereign!
Let it be in the days of your life, and the lives of all women and all men;
Let us see it come to pass very soon now, and let everybody say: Amen!
Forever may God's Holy Name be blessed,
eternally, from world to world and to the end of time -- without rest!
Let God's name be exalted and revered,
glorified and acclaimed from east to west;
Let it be praised, sung in worship loud and clear,
magnified, extolled and honored: God be blessed!
Blessed far beyond all songs and praises, of mouth or pen;
all worship in this world, ever uttered now or then, and say: Amen!
May the prayers, the pleas and supplications,
of all Israel and all who make amends,
be accepted by our parent up in heaven,
as we all say once again: Amen!
May good life and divine peace from heaven, now descend
upon us, all Israel, and all humankind, and say: Amen!
May the creator of peace and harmony,
throughout the heavens in compassion without end,
grant that lasting peace may come to be,
for us, for all Israel, and let us say: Amen!
Grant shalom to humankind, to all life and creation everywhere, Amen!

Hi. I'm originally from NYC, now live in Israel. Got into writing music to express emotions about difficult current events,
often using Holy Scriptures. There must be a reason such writings have been preserved and hallowed by so many for so long. So putting ancient wisdom to new music just feels right. Hope you enjoy the English or Hebrew versions, and wish you well. Thanks for listening!...more
The influence of steel guitar on genres like Delta blues and country has long been underrepresented; this compilation aims to set the record straight. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 5, 2022
