I am Christian,
my brethren are Jewish,
come, gather all,
a time of mitzvahs.

Lift up praise to God,
Hebrew songs on high,
Jewish and Christian,
sacramental wine,
come, worship together,
Barchu Et Adonai Hamvorach ~
(Praise the Eternal One, the One who is blessed!)

Like gold of Havilah
   God is true and straight.
I can exhort Adonai
   For His tender heart.

Be it ambivalence
   Or the hour of drear
Wherever prayer is
   The Lord abides there.

Royalty and rivalry
   May erupt with hate
But He will take my leave
   Untouched by the flame....

The great Caesarean splendor
And his roaring empire's reign
Fleeting things be mortal hopes
May a monument remain?

Daedalus, Ah Daedalus
Lend your feathers toward the sky
Adonai, my God on high
Faith with holy flames reward!

Strikes a stone, a stone
Iron and clay to dust subdue
To cruder substance enamoured
A mask of gold embraces sod
A silent elegy.

The Lord's kingdom shall forever reign

Amen...

God Almighty,  Jehovah, Brahman, Adonai,  Allah
Lord of the Worlds
Oh, God Almighty,
Indeed you are the power over my mind,
the light in my eyes,
the Guide to the good of what I hear,
the humility of my heart,
and
the compassion in my hands.
Save me from the torment of greed,
the glut of selfishness,
the insight of the wicked, 
the numbness of the swindlers,, 
the plight of the ungrateful,
and let PEACEFUL be my world

The
hand
extended

was
our
remedy,
death

being
everyone’s
curse.
Adonai,
making
expiation,

furnishing
life
eternal,
sacrified
himself.

expiation - removal of sin
Adonai - literally, ‘Lord’, one of many names for the Godhead

Adonai authors all,
anticipates all,
altruistically acts,
accomodating* acrimonious aliens,
allowing adoptive access.

Beloved bestows blessing,
begetting bliss,
birthing born-again believers.

Creator conveys
captivating covenental communiques;
creatures cogitate,
construct creedal confessions.

Divine drama,
documented,
drives doctrine,
develops delighted disciples
drinking deeply,
delivering doxologies.

Bye Mama
I have come of age now
I moved on and became a father
You were the pillar of my life
It is not easy to say farewell
You instilled values within me
Thinking of you
It takes me back to my childhood
And as far as I could see
It feels funny 
Saying goodbye to you now
You've been gone for twenty one years
Though I've grown 
My thoughts kept you nearby with tears
I've always known in my heart
I am not alone
Every time I looked to the sky
I know I have Adonai
So Mama goodbye...
