Refuge

Ani auni vevyone. hashem yashav li. ezrati, umafalti, atau.

As for me, i am poor and destitute.

Hashem my g-d will think about me. my help, my rescuer, you are.

My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock,

Crack through your heart and take the evil apart

From the end of the earth unto you i call,

Time and again i fall, back to you i crawl

You have been a refuge for me,

A tower of strength in the face of the enemy

Enemy, enemy lines i find i let myself get tied up too many times

You can't have my heart i'm taking back what's mine

I know it lie just smoke in your eye

And you saved my soul from the other side

When faint grows my heart to a rock

That too hard for me to climb alone lead me

For you have been a refuge

With you i smash a troop and with my g-d i leap over a wall

May the king answer you on the day that you call

Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled,

Heavens lay draped over new york like a prayer shawl,

The holy one enthroned upon the praises of israel

Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam

From the start, i want to take the blockage apart
