Shliach

I’ve been to many big cities that never slow down
And I’ve been to far off and distant
and slow moving towns
I’ve been where the curtain of iron once stood
The more places I went

The more I understood

CHORUS

Now one thing’s the same in every place
The warm, welcome smile upon your face
Now thanks to you every Jew, has a place to call home

So stand beloved Shliach,
the world, it turns to you
May you always be Matzliach,
in everything that you do

With faith, without fear
You go where others don’t dare
Your guiding light and your compass comes
From the one who sent you there

His spirit sparkles in your eye
Like the stars in the sky
His golden lantern goes with you
It lights up all that you do

I’ve seen you stride down great halls of power
And your helping hand in another’s dark hour
When turbulent souls get lost at sea
You’re the lighthouse that shines and says, come to me

Chorus:

You’re the army and the power is the weapon of light
When you’re engaged, there’s no soul you cannot ignite
Carry on, carry on until the battle’s won
You take a broken world, and you make it as one
