Mimkomcha & Eitz Chayim
Mimkomcha & Eitz Chayim
Tonight is erev Shavuos which in addition to being Yom Tov is also the yerzheit of my late uncle Ronnie (z"l).
I am saddened by the loss of this special man and by the fact that once again we will not be attending shul.
I don't know what the future brings but I know that I miss singing these songs with the community.
Enjoy

Mimkomcha Lyrics
מִמְּקוֹמְךָ, מַלְכֵּנוּ
,תוֹפִיעַ
וְתִמְלוֹךְ, עָלֵינוּ
.כִּי מְחַכִּים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ
מָתַי מָתַי, תִּמְלוֹךְ בְּצִיּוֹן
,בְּקָרוֹב בְּיָמֵינוּ
לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד, לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד
לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד תִּשְׁכּוֹן
עַל יְדֵי דָּוִד, מְשִׁיחַ צִדְקֶךָ
Mimekomcha malkeynu sofiyah, ve'simloch aleinu ki mechakim anachnu lach. Masai simloch betziyon, bekarov beyameinu leolam vaed tishkon. al yedei David mashiach tsidkecha.
Translation:
From your perch, our King, appear, and rule over us because we are waiting for you. When will you rule in Zion? Soon, in our days, forever may you dwell... by David your sacred anointed one.
Eitz Chayim Lyrics
עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ. וְתמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר:
דְּרָכֶיהָ דַרְכֵי נעַם וְכָל נְתִיבותֶיהָ שָׁלום:
הֲשִׁיבֵנוּ ה' אֵלֶיךָ וְנָשׁוּבָה. חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵינוּ כְּקֶדֶם:
Eitz chayim hi lamachazikim bah, v'som'cheha m'ushar. D'racheha darchei noam v'chol n'sivotseha shalom. Hashivenu Hashem eilecha v'nashuva, chadesh yameinu k'kedem.
Translation:
The Torah is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it, and all who cling to it find happiness. Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its paths are peace. Help us and guide us, inspire us and provide us With the wisdom Your Torah can show. Cause us to learn, renew and return, Just as in days of old.
