Words & Music by Beth A. Schafer Hebrew Text: Job

Gather what you can my dear, Don’t be overcome by fear
I will keep you warm
Crooked pictures on the wall, Trees uprooted, spirits fall
After the storm...and we said,

Chorus
Adonai natan, Adonai L’kach
Y’hi shem Adonai m’vorach
Adonai natan Adonai L’kach
Y’hi shem Adonai m’vorach

She felt her love slipping away, Knew she’d have to face the day
When she’d be alone,
Drinking every moment dry, Final moments eye to eye
What is done is done

Chorus
Weigh the scales of give and take against each blessing that I make
All I have I may not see, but I have me, I have me, I have me
Chorus

Trans. God, gives, God takes away. Blessed be God’s name.
