Shabbat Song (ICD Dance Choreograph & Lyrics)

(Video to be added for this dance)

Lyrics:


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
