My Imma wears a golden star That twinkles in the light Of candles as she turn her hands To spread the warmth tonight
Shabbat, Shabbat Island of peace and rest In the feast of Shabbat The people of God are blessed
My Abba lifts the bread and wine As we bless our God most high Creator of the heavens and earth Hallelu Et Adonai (Praise the Lord)
The angels join us as we sing With joy our candles glow The heavens will touch the earth tonight The hearts of wise men know
Messiah will reign from Jerusalem And lawlessness will cease The earth will have one thousand years Of God’s own Sabbath rest
