Bless Our Road

Let our steps be light
And our thoughts unburdened
May the stars be bright
And our journeys certain
Let us make new friends
Call no one stranger
Never meet dead ends
And be led away from danger
CHORUS:
Please bless our road
The journeys we have yet to travel on
Please bless our road
And may we learn from where we came from
Let us not forget
To stop and smell the flowers
May we look ahead
But live for every passing hour
Let us stand our ground
For the things that we believe in
May we make a sound
For those silenced and those lost in weeping
CHORUS
Please bless our road
For the times we don’t know where to go
Give us the strength to press forward
CHORUS
Please bless our road
Let our steps be light
Let us make new friends
Let us stand our ground
Let us not forget

Some days, it seems the hurt will never end
Some days, we wonder what out there is next
It’s not enough to fix, we have to mend
Sim shalom, please bring us peace
Sim shalom, sim shalom
Tova uvracha, sim shalom

Grant us mercy, and the strength to love
Grant us forgiveness for all we have done wrong
We’ll feel your light and kindness shine from up above
Sim shalom, please bring us peace
Sim shalom, sim shalom (please bring us peace)
Tova uvracha, sim shalom

Let love guide your hands
As they touch the world
Let love guide your lips
As they speak kind words
Let love guide your legs
When you leave your home
Let love guide your ears
When you listen close
For we are all God’s hands
For we are all God’s lips
For we are all God’s legs
And we are all God’s ears
And it’s up to us to love
There are signs in the world
If we choose to see
Such wonder in the world
And in all living things
And with all of our breath
And all of our might
We will set forth
To work for what’s right
For we are all God’s hands
For we are all God’s lips
For we are all God’s legs
And we are all God’s ears
And it’s up to us to love
V’ahavta
V’ahavta
And you shall love
And you shall love
And you shall love
For we are all God’s hands
For we are all God’s lips
For we are all God’s legs
And we are all God’s ears
And it’s up to us to love

Kol ha-o-lam ku-lo gesher tzar me-od
The whole world is a narrow bridge
A very, very narrow bridge
V'ha-i-kar, v’ha-i-kar
Lo l'fached, lo l'fached klal
And the main thing to recall is not to be afraid at all
And the main thing to recall is not to be, not to be afraid at all
The world is a very narrow bridge
Don’t be afraid at all

May we always be forgiven
May we search for ways to grow
May we always have compassion
For those we know and those we don't
May we seek a brighter future
Find answers in actions, not in words
May we question what we know
And may we always question status quo
Shana tova
Shana tova
Shana tova u'metukah
May we seek out our reflections
To learn from the mistakes of our past
May we not just light the way for others
But teach them how to light their own path
Shana tova
Shana tova
Shana tova u'metukah
So we pray for opened eyes
And we pray once more for peace
We pray for those in need of healing and of love
We pray to shine in our beliefs
Shana tova
Shana tova
Shana tova u'metukah
