Steve McConnell - Shabbat Menucha lyrics

Yom Zeh l'Yisrael – orah v'simcha shabbat m'nucha This day all our striving is done This day shall be joy for everyone Blessed are the poor in spirit For they shall have the kingdom Blessed are those who mourn Comfort shall be theirs Blessed be the Lord our God And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name This day we will honor your name This day you've removed all our shame Blessed are the meek and gentle For they shall own the land Blessed are the righteous ones For they'll be satisfied Blessed be the Lord our God And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name Let this day be a sanctuary (oh Lord we love Your sanctuary) A sanctuary in time (we love this day You've given us) This day proclaims God is true to his name It's a taste of his finest wine This day as we all gather near This day, Lord, your message is so clear Blessed are the merciful For they will have your mercy Blessed are the pure in heart They'll see you face to face Blessed be the Lord our God And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name
