The Ultimate Romance: The Jews and God

It’s my wedding day

I’m becoming a queen

The life as I knew it

Will cease to be

.

We’ll exchange our rings

Under a curtained sky

That’s been created just for me

By the groom for his bride

.

My love gave me a sun

And stars in the night

He kisses me to sleep

And sings a lullabye

Lecha Dodi Likrat Kallah

Pnai Shabbat Nekabla

.

A new life, a new time

A rest from the work

He’ll take care and provide

So I rest, quite assured

.

He’s the crown on my head

That reminds me He’s there

He’s the royal garments

That though heavy, I bear

.

My love gave me a sun

And stars in the night

He kisses me to sleep

And sings a lullabye

Lecha Dodi Likrat Kallah

Pnai Shabbat Nekabla

.

The bride sings His praises

She’s Ateret Baalah

He rejoices in her song

Kimsos Chatan al Kallah.

And one day when they’re old

They’ll meet face to face

He’ll call: “Bo’ee Kallah!”

From His throne at Heaven’s Gates
