Watch Word /
The Word is Wood
This burnished bench
Sh’ma Yisrael
was once a tree
Hear, O Israel
the prayer was dance
Adonai Eloheinu
there were no pews
The lord your God
the word was wind
Adonai echad
the moon named names
The lord is one
and the bird’s prayer too
Baruch shem kavod
in our sandaled feet
Blessed be the lord
married words to heart
Malchuto
the whole grove sang
King of the universe
and that fallen log
Le’olam va’ed
silent memory now
Forever and ever
let us say
Amen
