Avinu Malkeynu our Father our King
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!
We enter Your rest and Your praises we sing!
Lord we Delight in Your Shabbat!

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

In six days You painted the face of the earth
And carved out a day when You'd rest from Your work

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

You brought forth a nation from Abraham
And spared his son Isaac providing the ram

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

The prophets foretold that Messiah would come
Sh'ma Yisrael the L-rd G-d is one!

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

And just as You rested when Your work was done
We enter Your rest by the Work of Your Son

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

The lilies You dress and the sparrows You feed
You Elohim provide every need!

We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!
We delight, we delight, we delight in Your Shabbat!

Your people will enter Your rest when we cry
"Baruch ha ba b'Shem Adonai!"
 

HOOKED ON THE TRUTH

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

Ya know times can get really hard
When you decide to walk with The Lord (Yeshua)
Now many people get really angry at me (why)
‘Cause I just have a piece a bitty inch of faith

Let me tell you about a story that's called my life
I was a Jew boy and now I came to Christ
Many people thought that I'm a fool
They thought I betrayed them oh how uncool
Whoa they're wrong!
I'm just a man after God's heart
If you know me I'm just playin’ the part of that
Wandering Jew maybe someone like you
If you open the Book then maybe baby then you will see
How Jesus is for you like Jesus is for me yeah

I came I
I saw I
I opened up that Book
Now look at me I'm hooked on the Truth yeah

Let me tell you about some people that I know
They like to hurt me they like to break me (ignorant)
‘Cause I have the Truth
They wanna tell that they're right
They're wrong I know
I've seen the evidence and I know what's True (oh yeah)
What about Zechariah 12:10 what about Psalm 22
What about Isaiah 53 oh rabbi please don't tell me that's not true
I've seen it I felt it I know it what you gonna do
I'm just tryin’ to be true Jew yeah yeah

I came I
I saw I
I opened up that Book
Now look at me I'm hooked on the Truth yeah

I took my pride and then I threw it out the window
Ya see I said to God I really wanna know you for real
I opened up Matthew and I opened up John
And then I said wait this is so Jewish how could I've been so wrong
Could it be it's true that there's a part two for every Jew
Do you know what I'm talkin’ about
Oh my God I can't keep rappin’ about this
Ya gotta open up that Book
I said ya gotta open up that Book
And if they're tryin’ to tell you don't open up that Book
That means open up that Book yeah

“And I shall pour on the house of Dawid and on the inhabitants
Of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers.
And they shall look on Me whom they pierced,
And they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son.
And they shall be in bitterness over Him
As a bitterness over the first-born.”
(Zekaryah 12:10)*

Zechariah 12:10 (oh!) this is Old Testament
Old Covenant yeah come on do you feel me
I was never taught about this in Yeshiva school (no)
But now I found out (yeah) it's so cool (oh) to read the Book (yeah)
All of it not just part of it and the parts they’re gonna tell you is not it
Ya see like you know Jews For Judaism they like to tell you
No no no that means something else
They are full of shhh
You know what I'm talkin’ about ok
So I'm just tryin’ to stay true Jew here
And uh yeah all I can say is open up that Book (yeah)

I came I
I saw I
I opened up that Book
Now look at me I'm hooked on the Truth yeah

Ok and it says here in Luke 10:16
“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you
Rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects
Him who sent Me.” (Luke 10:16)*
Figure it out (yeah) Jesus is the Jewish Messiah
Yeah I had no idea about this either yo
Believe me I had to suffer just to keep with the Truth
But it's ok
Whatever
I give my life over to God
That's a big move
For real
 

FOR HIS GLORY

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

I live for His glory
His Word is no story
When I fell You saved me
Yeshua Lord you forgave me

Why do my brothers not see
Lord why are they blind
The chosen have walked away from You
Since back in time
I pray that You'll change their hardened hearts
Maybe today
And one Jew will recognize Your Truth
And walk in Your ways

[chorus]

How did the sheep get lost in the field
Mislead by fools
The wolves in the sheep's clothes made up laws
Ungodly rules
I pray that they'll reach out to His Son
And come out of chains
‘Cause the Truth shall set them free at last
To know the King yeah who reigns

[chorus]

Look at me Abba I'm in love
In love with You
And all of my brothers sisters here
We're keepin’ it True Jew
However You'll change the hearts of man
Is all in Your hands
Whatever will be will be through You
The One with the plans

[chorus]
 

REACH OUT TO YOU

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

Everybody's got that day
Where they reach out to God (yeah)
And they say God (what's up)
I wanna know You this time for real (that's right)
Just know when you do this
He's gonna throw in a life saver
Yeshua Jesus Messiah (yeah)
And then His Son will reach out to you
(Come on here we go)

When you’re moving fast forward
In a world of change
And you can't catch up
And you feel the same way I did
He'll reach out to you
If you lost your way
Don't know where to turn
Raise your hands in the air
Ask for help the same way I did
He'll reach out to you

When your day turns into dark
And your smile turns into tears
That's when His Son
He'll reach out to you
When you seem to fall off track
Just know God has got your back
And then His Son
Will reach out to you

Had your own plans set
Had your life laid out
Made a birthday wish
And it didn't come out
As you planned
He'll reach out to you
Did you run the race
And you finished last
Did you come first place
But it felt like last that's when
He'll reach out to you

When your day turns into dark
And your smile turns into tears
That's when His Son
He'll reach out to you
When you seem to fall off track
Just know God has got your back
And then His Son
Will reach out to you

Have you lost your mind
In a crazy world
Lost your faith in man
And the promises of luck
He'll reach out to you
If you want the Truth
Yeah with no disguise
Say Yeshua can you
Please step into my life
That's when He'll reach out to you

Cause He's the King of kings
He's the Lord of lords
He's the Big Shot Caller
Do you feel me
He's the One who saved me
Yes He'll save you too
His promise of salvation
Is for every Gentile and Jew
 

FALLEN WORLD

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

Calling all of God's believers
Listen up yeah

"If you were of the world,
The world would love it's own.
But because you are not of the world,
But I chose you out of the world,
For that reason the world hates you.
Remember the word that I said to you,
‘A servant is not greater than his master.’
If they persecuted Me, they shall persecute you too.
If they have guarded My Word, they would guard yours too.
But all this they shall do to you because of My Name,
Because they do not know Him who sent Me. (Yohanan 15:19-21)*

Yahweh

I used to be broken man kept fallin’ down
Made mistakes that I really don't want to share
With you do you feel me
I used to be just a man filled up with pride
But I lost at the game just tryin' to play
But the game it just played me
When you open up your heart what do you see
Are you angry empty just like I used to be
Yeah no more

Built a world on a mountain pile a sand
Then the sea washed away all that I had gained
Lost it all in an instant
Compromised with the wrong crowd big regret
Now I know it's just me that I am to blame
’Cause I didn't trust my instinct
When the fallen world has failed you once again
Will the one you look to for answers be man again

I was saved by the Son
Washed away by His blood
In a fallen world drowned by sin
No more lost once again
Now reborn live for Him
And my life has never been the same
I don't care what they say fallen world

Came to faith God cut ties with faithless folk
Now they call me a traitor because I stayed
In God's arms do you feel me
Turned the cheek when they slapped me with their hate
I could care less because God's the One who reigns
If they hated Him they'll hate me
When you see the persecutions coming round
That's the evidence He's the King of kings who wears that crown

I was saved by the Son
Washed away by His blood
In a fallen world drowned by sin
No more lost once again
Now reborn live for Him
And my life has never been the same
I don't care what they say fallen world

I'm free

HIGHEST MOUNTAIN

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

On this highest mountain where I am
I can see forever praising hands
Reaching out to God with one clear voice
Shouting His name
On this highest mountain where I stand
I can see them praise in distant lands
Reaching out to God with one clear voice
Shouting His name

On this mountain where I stand I can see a warm glow
Of a billion shining lights for the heavens to know
Thank Yeshua for this life thank you Jesus we give You praise
Brought us out of the darkness and into the light
Your magnificent presence it shines on us bright
Without You what would we do so we're here shouting Your name

[chorus]

On this mountain where I stand I can feel all the love
Resonating faithfully flowing free like a dove
While the body of the Lord gathers ‘round to bring Him praise
Living Word spreading fast waking up everyone
Saving souls everywhere thank God for Your Son
Without Him what would we do so we're here shouting Your name

[chorus]

On this mountain where I stand I can feel all the pain
Of the lost souls unaware of the One King who reigns
As a church we have to pray that they shall all be saved
Praise Yeshua for the great sacrifice that He made
Gave His life for us all now the debt has been paid
Now we're gathered here united yeah praising Your name

[chorus]
 

CHOSEN MEN

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

Stand up men of Israel
It's time to reclaim your faith
Now more than ever
Walk the line
The narrow path
And open up your eyes and see
What God has before you
Chosen as the ones to share His light
To the Gentile man that stands before you

We are chosen men
For His glory His glory
God's chosen plan
For His glory His glory
Sons of Abraham
For His glory His glory
God's remnant stands
From now until the end of time

What's the Truth you might ask
How do we do discern the facts that lie with fiction
Ask the One to guide your path
And when you seek the Truth
Then you shall find Him
Sweet surrender to the Mighty King
A mustard seed of faith will lead to everything

[chorus]

Yeshua came as prophesied
He came to fulfill the Law
Just as was promised
Died for us for all our sins
He was the last sacrifice for our atonement
He was crucified the perfect lamb
Our Mashiach came now we stand before Him

[chorus]
 

THE LOST GENERATION (FOUND)

by Aviad Cohen
Copyright 2006 Hebrew Homie Publishing (ASCAP)

The lost generation waits in hope
For proof from above of the after world
The stories were told that the One would come
Messiah Mashiach when will You come
The world has fallen the sheep astray
The hour is near in the end of days
The natives are restless in search of You
Oh come dear King show them Your Truth

The prophets told now the seekers aim
To open their hearts to the King who reigns
The world is coming under attack
Oh Lord my God (our God) please come back
The Word is out but they will not see
Yeshua Mashiach how could You be
Please show them all of Your wondrous signs
Before we reach (the end) the end of times

Thank you Mashiach for the world to come
We'll meet You there when Your will be done
We praise Your name every waking hour
You are the One Creator (The Higher Power)
The honor is ours to serve You here
Await to meet You we do not fear
The darkness is falling Your time has come
And then the world will know You're the One

The lost generation…found
