Where I
Belong
My
whole life I’ve been searching
To find
where I belong
A place
that I can call my home
With
love to make it strong
Where
all the sounds inside me
Rise as
one in song
Heart
and soul together
In this
place where I belong
There
were times when I was angry
Times
when I was lost
When
pain was overwhelming
And all
the wires were crossed
‘Til a
gentle voice came calling
And
told me, come along
Together
we would find the way
To the
place where I belong
I
followed through the shadows ‘til I could clearly see
That I
was part of something much, much bigger than just me
I see
God when I look inside
And
when I look around
I feel
prayer running through me
Up to
heaven from the ground
And I
have faith to carry me
Throughout
my whole life long
A place
that I can call my own
I know
where I belong
My
whole life I’ve been searching
To find
where I belong
And now
I finally have a home
With
love that runs so strong
Where
voices of so many
Rise as
one in song
I’m not
alone
Inside
this home
This is
where I belong

Gam Ki Eylech (Psalm 23)
Lord I
feel like I’m breaking down
And I
need you by my side
You are
my light, you are my guide
You
lead me down the path of right
Gam ki elech
be’gay tzalmavet
Lo ira rah
Lo,
though I walk through the valley
No, I
shall not fear
Lo,
though I walk through the valley
I shall
not fear

Where Is God?
[Chorus:]
Where is God I wonder
When I lay me down to sleep
I know you’re in the heavens
heights
And in the ocean deep
I know that you are always near
But there’s times I’m not so
sure
Where is God, I wonder
In hatred, fear and war
I said where is God, I wonder
In hatred, fear and war
The world’s a scary place
And it would really help to
know
You’re watching over us
Over all your children, so
In light of all this mess
Could you please just send a
sign
We sure could use a miracle
Some help from the Divine
[Chorus]
I pray for peace in every heart
In every living thing
I wish I knew what more to do
All I can do is sing
I may not have the answers
But at least I’ve got a prayer
It helps me to remember
That you are everywhere
[every/Where…]
[Chorus]
