Album: Messianic Joy
Chorus:
Baruch Atah Adonai Elohenu
Melech haolam boray p'ri hagofen. Amen
Translation:
(Blessed are Thou, O Lord God, King of the
universe, who createst the fruit of the vine.)
My Beloved had a vineyard
On a very fertile hill.
He worked to clear the stones away,
The land was good to till.
He built a wine vat in its midst
And planted it with vines.
He looked for it to yield good grapes
That He might drink the wine.
Chorus
But as the fruit mature He saw
How wild the grapes became.
Although He loved and cared for them
The vines would not be tamed.
Why, children of Jerusalem,
Did not the harvest yield?
What more could my Beloved do
To tend His wasted field?
The keeper of the vineyard,
The Lord of Hosts is He.
The vineyard is His people,
O, tell me can't you see
That He was seeking righteousness
And justice for his wine.
Instead He found iniquity
Was hanging on the vine.
Chorus
O, you who seek the Lord today
The lesson still holds true.
For what he sought of Israel
He still requires of you.
O, walk with Him in righteousness
And be a fruitful vine.
And press your life into His hands
That He might drink the wine.
