The Rabbi

Listening to God

Post details: More on the Drought

More on the Drought

is it I?
why does the rain not fall?
O LORD, are you really god?
if so, where lies your mercy?
are you so small as to react to my sin?
sin remains, do you?

Thus says the LORD
you hypocrite
what boldness in worship, especially from an idolater

But LORD so I have been taught
I listened well, how was I to know?

Thus says the LORD
I cry for my people
tears to rain on them
if they would listen

G-d, hear my plea
in spite of our behavior
we sin, we are yours
forgive
that is who you are
