A Sinaite’s Musical Liturgy – 3rd Sabbath in August

[The Sinaite’s Musical Sabbath Liturgy —alternates with our regular recited liturgy.  For visitors unfamiliar with this, we use Christian music but rewrite the lyrics to reflect Sinai 6000 creed, “biblical” according to the TNK or “Old Testament” theology. The hymns are familiar and music accompaniment is provided.  Reciting the lyrics like prayers work just as well.  Have a joyful celebration, dear Sabbath keepers, whatever religion you belong to, we’re all worshipping the UNIVERSAL GOD!—Admin1].

 

 

 

KINDLE THE SABBATH LIGHTS

[Original Tune: “Praise the Name of Jesus”/Revised lyrics]

 

Light one Sabbath candle

as His blazing sun sets,

darkness fills all the spaces, 

not in minds where His True Light dwells,

Let His Tree of Life be your Light.

 

Light two Sabbath candles, 

Brighten up the darkness,

One is good, two is better,

More minds in harmony can see more ‘Light’

Let His Tree of Life be our Light.

 

Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory . . .

 

 

[To the tune of “Battle Hymn of the Republic”/Revised lyrics]

 

1.  In the beauty of the desert, on the mountain of Sinai,

In the form of fire and burning bush, He came down from on high,

As His voice was heard in thunder and His Presence flashed as Light,

 Oh what an awesome sight!

 

2.  He came down just like the glory of the morning on the mount,

He gave wisdom to the multitudes in laws that none could count,

As they trembled at the awesome sight with fear within their hearts,

One could not help but sing:

Chorus:  Hallelu, sing hallelu YAH!

Praise Yahuwah, hallelu YAH,

Raise our voices, hallelu YAH,

Yahuwah is LORD GOD!

 

3.  Moses spent some forty days and forty nights with his ‘new’ GOD,

Moses learned as much as he could learn from his Almighty God,

And to simplify theTorah, God reduced it all to ‘ten’

Yes, ten, it’s only TEN!

4. And so Moses now descended with two tablets hand in hand,

Etched on stone were ten instructions, keep in heart and keep in mind,

And if that’s still hard to do, guess what?  It was reduced to two,

‘Love God’ and ‘love mankind’!

Chorus:  Glory be to Thee, Yahuwah,

Worship due to Thee, Yahuwah,

Honor to Thy Name, Yahuwah,

The One and Only God.

 

5.  Now as Israel and Gentiles of the world have come to know,

He is God, the Only One, the Only Lord one needs to know,

There is None, no one before, no one comes after, all should know:

YAHUWAH is His NAME!

6. He’s the First and He’s the Last and He is all that’s ‘In Between’

He’s the same, He does not change, He always IS, that’s what He means,

He’s the One Eternal God , He is Existence, ALL there IS

YAHUWAH is His NAME!

 

Chorus:  Glory, glory hallelu-YAH,

Glory, glory hallelu -YAH,

Glory, glory hallelu -YAH,

YAHUWAH is His NAME!

 

 Be Thou My Vision  [Original Tune/ revised lyrics]

 

1.  Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart;

nothing else matters but all that Thou art;

Thou are my best thought, by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy Presence my Light.

 

2.  Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord;

Thou my loving Father and I Thy dear child,

O Thou with me dwelling and I with Thee Lord.

 

3. Be Thou my Companion through pathways ahead,

Be Thou my Shepherd whose voice I have heard,

Lead me through the Pastures, to the Waters of life,

I’m thirsty to drink from Thy True Words—all my Life.

 

4.  Riches I need not, nor man’s empty praise;

Thou mine inheritance now and always;

Thou and Thou alone, always first in my heart,

O High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

 

5.  Be Thou my vision, Yahuwah my God,

Be Thou my Light, through the darkness I’ve trod,

Never leave my side, LORD, till the end of my days,

When my final Sabbath comes,  rest in You LORD, always.

 

 

BLESSINGS

 

[Original Tune: “We Gather Together”/Revised Lyrics]

We gather together to seek the Lord’s blessing, 

with joy in our hearts, 

we delight in Your Day,

We welcome Your Sabbath, we seek Your loving Presence,

We bless Your Holy Name, Yahuwah our Lord.

 

 

We break bread together, we bless one another,

We drink to our health and this joy that we share,

We pray for all others, for all the Sabbath-keepers,

Who faithfully observe this blest day of rest.

 

For joy we derive from our loved ones, our family,

For daughters, for sons, and for grandchildren dear,

For blessings no end that Your gracious Hand has given us,

We bless you back, O Lord Yahuwah,  our God!

HAVDALAH

 

[Original Tune: “Onward Christian Soldiers”/Revised Lyrics]

1.  Onward true believers in the One True God,

With God’s Truth before us, leave the false behind,

Once we followed other gods, once we swallowed lies,

That’s all past tense, that’s behind us, disconnect old ties . . .

Onward, onward, let’s move forward

from we were before,

With God’s Truth before us, listen not to lore.

 

2.  Learn the ‘Old’, unlearn the ‘New’,

That’s the thing to do—

Start from the beginning, Genesis anew,

Learn from Him, Creator God, lay aside your fears,

Learn to reason, get some wisdom, open up your ears!

Onward, let’s move further forward

from we were before,

With ‘Old’ Truth before us, there’s more truth in store.

 

 

3.  Exodus, Leviticus, read them with fresh eyes,

Don’t bring with you baggage from your former ties,

Numbers, Deuteronomy, these complete the five,

If that’s all that you can process, that is good for life,

Onward, let your search move onward,

leave the past behind,

There’s so much to cover, so much more to find.

 

 

4.  Let us follow Joshua’s lead, conquer turfs for God,

Weaken the resistance of the ignorant,

Don’t miss opportunities, say a word or two,

Sow the seeds but better if they see His Life in you,

Onward tread on bad soil, dry soil,

sow God’s Word of Truth,

Somewhere there is good soil ready for ‘Old’ Truth!

 A——–men!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shabbat shalom to all our friends  all over the world—Sinaites, Messianics, Christians, believers in God—

 

In behalf of Sinai 6000 Core Community,
