From Jacob HD

"From Jacob" Lyrics/music by Michel Klein Lyrics: There’s a house that’s burning on a hill two thousand years and its burning still Scattered out from Babylon and Rome, while we’re trying to find our way home Although we’ve fallen we stay strong While countless nations have come and gone All the centuries of wandering, with His praise on our lips we sing The prayers of our offering Its what got us through everything His praise on our lips we sing. Like sand in the ocean bed, nature is infinite A ray that lives in the sun, a truth to be in time to come. From Jacob there will rise a star illuminating where you are The moutaintops will start to melt like wax in a fire that will never die. From Jacob there will come an age where every child will be like a sage. Then all will look and see the G-dliness with their own eyes Until that day we’ll scream out ad mosai? There’s a sanctuary left forlorn the alters cracked and the curtains torn Try to fix it but it doesn’t stay, the priests have all been shackled and cast away Please end this exile that we’re in, help us to shake off the serpent’s skin Our voices rising from the grave from there I pray hashem our souls to save The years that we’ve been enslaved, a tyranny so depraved From there we will all be saved A prince on a prison bed, though most have left him for dead But his father knows he’s alive, he’ll be released and then he’ll thrive From Jacob there will rise a star illuminating where you are The trees will sing and clap their hands with jubilation on high From Jacob there will come a time when we will dwell in a light sublime No wars to fight no blood to shed or any death to define And now we scream out ad mosai we’ll scream out ad mosai Until when we’ll see his face again, until when, we can’t wait until then From Jacob there will rise a star illuminating where you are Then life will be put back into the bones of those who in dust lie. From Jacob there will come a kind with a new kingdom he will bring He’ll douse the flames and the house will stand for ever reaching to the sky And no more will anyone scream ad mosai
