Neal Katz: Music
Don’t Be Silent
DON'T BE SILENT
words and music by Neal Katz and Alan Cook
Hebrew text from Psalm 83:2
In our lives, we're always searching
Wars rage on, fires are burning
Need to find some shelter from the storm
The world can be so cold and lonely
So I seek what's good and holy
I look to God to be kept safe and warm
Elohim, Elohim
Al Domi Lach
Al Techerash
V'Al Tishkot El
So much pressing down around me
Need to feel that I can be free
Need to make some sense when none applies
Used to be in times of trouble
When we'd err or when we'd stumble
God came to our aid and heard our cries
Elohim...
O God, don't be silent
Don't be deaf and don't be still,
O God, hear me calling
Heed my prayer and comfort me, O God
A sign from God is what I seek, but
I'm so unsure; my faith is weak, and then
I lift my eyes, and what is it I see?
Strangers reaching out their hands and
Helping those who cannot stand
And I feel somehow God has heard my plea
Elohim...
O God, don't be silent
Don't be deaf and don't be still,
O God, hear me calling
Heed my prayer and comfort me, O God
