Inspiration Text:
Listen my child to your father's lessons.
And do not turn from your mother's teaching.
Proverbs 1:8
Lyrics:
Sh'ma B'ni - Take these wings to fly with.
Shi-mi Bi-ti - With these roots you will grow.
This is my promise, this is my blessing,
You are the promise and you are the blessing.
Sh'ma B'ni --- Shi-mi Bi-ti.
May you live to see the wonder,
In this world and those yet to come.
To care for those who came before you,
To trust in those who are yet to come.
Sh'ma B'ni --- Shi-mi Bi-ti.
CHORUS:
U-fros A-lei-nu
U-fros A-lei-nu
U-fros A-lei-nu
Su-kat Sh'lo-mecha.
May your heart be filled with wisdom,
May your mind be filled with love.
May your lips be filled with sweetness,
May you shine like the stars above.
Sh'ma B'ni --- Shi-mi Bi-ti.
CHORUS:
So you shall fly on wings of eagles,
And you will grow to be straight and tall.
This is my promise, this is my blessing,
You are the promise and you are the blessing.
Sh'ma B'ni --- Shi-mi Bi-ti.
Sh'ma B'ni --- Shi-mi Bi-ti.
U-fros A-lei-nu -- Sukat Sh'lo-mecha -- Cover us with your shelter of peace.
