I come here tonight, weary, bereft, filled with fear
From a week of terrifying unknowns ever so near,
A hidden yet overwhelming enemy abides
Throughout this nation and the world, literally on every side.

I search for peace and look to you
The source, the palace, a time to renew,
The light of the candles bring an inner glow
So my soul can rest and continue to know
That wholeness awaits when you stop and refresh
Creating rituals with others that call us to bless.

We all receive the gift of an extra soul
Neshamah Yeterah, an enveloping great whole.
Kabbalah teaches so above and so below,
The male and female come to know
Together they must be in unity,
So the Divine will be fulfilled in universal harmony.

L’cha Dodi, beloved come to each one who is here
So Shabbat Shalom can bring grace ever so dear.
