[Reminder to new web-visitors; Sinaites are former Christ-believers and as such, our hymnody is deeply rooted in Christian music. We have adopted the music but changed the lyrics which now express our Sinaite creed; we retain the original lyrics when it agrees with our belief system. Admittedly, it takes time to get used to this strange mix, even some of our own have difficulty adjusting. If you are not familiar with the music, reciting the phrases work just as well. After all , sung or spoken, the message resonates. This season being the remembrance of Sinai 6000‘s ‘time of awakening’, the songs reflect our journey of faith ending at the foot of ‘Spiritual Sinai’.–Admin1.]

[Original Tune: “Go to Dark Gethsemane”/Revised Lyrics: “Go from Egypt, Israel”]
1. Go from Egypt, Israel . . .
walk across the Sea of Reeds.
Through the desert wilderness,
On His manna, water, feed . . .
journey on toward your God,
Who has from your bondage freed.

2. Pitch your tent and breathlessly,
watch and wait that you might see;
Up from yonder mountain peak,
hear His Voice in thunder speak,
Bow and tremble as you hear,
Words of wisdom, never fear.
3. YAHUWAH, your Elohim,
Adonai and El Shaddai.
Fear not, never be in shame,
Blest are those who speak His NAME!
There is no one else on earth,
He has chosen you from birth.
4. Gentiles from all nations, hear!
To Mount Sinai, gather near. . .
Timeless words for life ring clear,
From the past through all the years,
Israel has shared His Word,
Heed to prove that you have heard.
[Borrowed Tune: Beneath the Cross of Jesus/Revised Lyrics: “Beneath that Sacred Mountain”]
Image from jesusvanluiz.blogspot.com
1. Beneath that sacred mountain I virtually take my stand;
the shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,–
from the burning of the noontide heat, and burden of the day.
2. O safe and happy Shelter, O Refuge tried and sweet;
O trysting place where Heaven’s Love and Heaven’s Justice meet!
As Jacob in his wondrous dream had wrestled with the One,
a ladder full of angels going up and coming down.
3. There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side;
the darkness of man’s ignorance that gapes both deep and wide;
but Light shines forth from Sinai’s peak, a thunderous voice that speaks —
to multitudes of Israelites and Gentiles in their midst.
4. Upon that sacred mountain, my eyes at times can see—
though centuries have passed and I was not and could not be —
among the generation that received His Covenant,
All that I need to do is read the Exodus account.
5. I take Sinai, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask for nothing more than that I meet Him face to FACE,
I’ve journeyed all my life to find the Truth and know His Name,
YAHUWAH is the God I worship, His the Name I claim!

1. Yahuwah God of our families,
we gather here on Your Sabbath day,
this wine we drink and this bread we share,
symbols of Your blessings and joy in our lives.
2. We pray oh Lord, for our children dear,

and walk the Way taught to Israel,
just as we have chosen to walk
in Your Way.

[Original Tune: “Turn your eyes upon Jesus”/Revised Lyrics: “Turn your eyes toward Sinai”]
1. Dear seeker of God are you searching
for truth, for more light, for THE WAY,
look back to the start of your journey,
the map that has always been there . . .
CHO: Turn your eyes toward Sinai,
that’s where the Almighty was seen,
in the burning bush, in the flashing light
what a vision, a glorious sight!
2. If only the world would remember
the Words He had spoken back there,
in the wilderness, out in the desert,
the truth all humanity should hear . . .
CHO: Hear O Israel hear! [or ‘Hear, ye nations all, hear!]
YAHUWAH, True God, He is One,
You shall love YAHUWAH with all your heart,
all your being, and all of your might.
3. His Words will not fail you—He promised,
believe and obey and be blessed,
but when there is failure, there’s pardon,
if you would but humbly repent . . .
CHO: Turn your eyes on the TRUE ‘ONE’,
YAHUWAH the First and the Last,
No one comes before, there are not ‘two’ more,
HE was One, He’s still One, will be One!
Yes, YAHUWAH, Lord God, He’s the ONE!
