Yom Kippur

Holy One, can I walk with You like Abraham?
Could it be that El Shaddai is a friend to man?
Would You say those words to me, the words You told him?
Holy One, can a man like me be called Your friend?
Al tirah, al tirah, Anochi magen-lahch, sekarcha harbeh meod
Fear not, fear not, for I am Your shield
Your reward is very great
Holy One, how can I approach Your mercy seat?
Sacrifice, an offering seems so incomplete
So I dream of atonement behind this curtain
Holy One, will I ever be certain?
Al tirah, al tirah, Anochi magen-lahch, sekarcha harbeh meod
Fear not, fear not, for I am Your shield
Your reward is very great
Holy One, when I reached for You, You took my hand and spoke to me
O Holy One, now, I understand
Hineh El Yeshuati, I’ve seen salvation
Holy One, in the sacrifice of Your only son
Al tirah, al tirah, Anochi magen-lahch, sekarcha harbeh meod
Fear not, fear not, for I am Your shield
Your reward is very great
