Not covered by her life insurance rider.

Song of Praise
Like Miriam in the wilderness
I will raise my tambourine high
To praise this king
Who brought me from my Egypt
Into the Promised Land
You have carried me through
The desert
The barren wasteland
That was my life of sin
I will shout in your arms
As John shouted even
In his mother's womb
Hold me strong
As you have done
Throughout each twilight hour
Of

The bright light, plentiful mirrors
seemed more numerous here.
Miriam wondered whether music lessons
were part of her remuneration.
She thought of people,
the very first time she had played a duet-
a little running melody.. her own
part, a page of minims.
She heard nothing but her hard

Someone said she had a nice firm touch

Miriam,
Para o meu coração
basta o teu peito,
para a tua liberdade
te dou as minhas asas.
Antes de amar-te, amor, eu nada tinha:
vacilei pelas ruas e pelas coisas:
nada contava nem tinha nome:
o mundo era do ar que aguardava.
Hoje eu tenho tudo
E da minha boca chegará até ao céu
Meu sussurro;
Miriam
Eu te

Your popularity spread to both North and South America.
From there, it permeated both Europe and Asia.
I believe you also performed in Australia.
What a delightful sound came from your

My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame
maiden is she with tumbled hair uncovered.
She strikes the match and prays for G-d's acclaim.
Like Sara in the tent she lights the flame
pristine hands in front of two eyes hovered.
My sister Miriam lights the Sabbath flame
At sunset each flickering flame frames
a wish for communion, peace discovered,
she strikes
