lyrics

Return, return O Israel, to Hashem your God
for when you've failed O Israel, you've not been spared the rod.
But I am as an evergreen, my fruit is here for thee,
so return oh Israel, just come back to me.

Take and hold onto God's words, continue to take heed
Hold O Israel to the path, don't just pray--bring deeds!
Talk to God, the God of good, forgiver of all sin
Return to God O Israel, save the downtrodden,
the poor, widow and orphan

I'll heal your pain, love you free, end all your woes
I'll be as dew upon Israel, you'll blossom like a rose.
Branches spread in majesty, you olive by the sea
In comfort and tranquility, with me as your melody

Who is wise to see these things, rooted cedar of Lebanon
The ways of God are just and good, so righteously sing on.
Return, return O Israel, as trees reach for the sky
Return, return O Israel to the one true God on high.

Aiton Birnbaum Israel

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
