Shabbat Menucha - Steve McConnell

This day all our striving is done

This day shall be joy for everyone

Blessed are the poor in spirit

For they shall have the kingdom

Blessed are those who mourn

Comfort shall be theirs

Blessed be the Lord our God

And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name

This day we will honor your name

This day you’ve removed all our shame

Blessed are the meek and gentle

For they shall own the land

Blessed are the righteous ones

For they’ll be satisfied

Blessed be the Lord our God

And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name

Let this day be a sanctuary (oh Lord we love Your sanctuary)

A sanctuary in time (we love this day You’ve given us)

This day proclaims God is true to his name

It’s a taste of his finest wine

This day as we all gather near

This day, Lord, your message is so clear

Blessed are the merciful

For they will have your mercy

Blessed are the pure in heart

They’ll see you face to face

Blessed be the Lord our God

And blessed are the ones who take refuge in His name
