Rise Like Birds

I don't want my prayers to fall
Like dead leaves after autumn
But let the words of my heart
Rise like birds
Into the vast expanse
Of eternity

So let my soul
Ignite the flame
Holy embers
That praise your name

I don't want my prayers to fall
Like dead leaves after autumn
But let the words of my heart
Rise like birds
Into the vast expanse
Of eternity

May my heart
Guide the way
Breath of the Spirit
That gives you praise

I don't want my prayers to fall
Like dead leaves after autumn
But let the words of my heart
Rise like birds
Into the vast expanse
Of eternity

Baruk atah Adonai
Eloheinu melek ha'olam
Do we we come to you only with our cries
Or do we bring an offering of praise for a king

I don't want my prayers to fall
Like dead leaves after autumn
But let the words of my heart
Rise like birds
Into the vast expanse
Of eternity

In mercy you give light to the earth
And those who dwell in your presence
So we bring you blessing and honor
Holiness and praise

Let my prayers rise like birds
Into your eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
Eternity
