Shemà Israel

Shema Israel, shema Israel:
Adonai elohenu,
Adonai ehad!
Shema Israel, shema Israel:
Adonai elohenu,
Adonai ehad!
Listen Israel *
- Shema Israel
listen Israel
- shema Israel
the Lord is our God
- Adonai elohenu
the Lord is the only one - Adonai ehad!
You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your mind,
with all your strength.
You shall fasten these words,
on your hands as a sign,
as a band round your forehead,
on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Shema Israel, shema Israel:
Adonai elohenu, Adonai ehad!
Listen Israel *, listen Israel,
the Lord is our God, the Lord is the only one!
You’ll instil these words in your children,
repeat them in your house, walking in the street,
when you go to bed and when you rise.
This is the first commandment of life,
the second is like the first:
love your neighbour as yourself.
do this, and you will live forever.
Shema Israel, shema Israel:
Adonai elohenu, Adonai ehad!
Listen Israel *, listen Israel,
the Lord is our God, the Lord is the only one!
Shema Israel, shema Israel:
Adonai elohenu,
Adonai ehad!

This is my commandment

This is my commandment:
Love one another
love one another,
as I have loved you,
as I have loved you,
as I have loved you.
No one has a greater love
Than to give his life for his friends.
You are my friends,
you are my friends.
You are my friends,
you are my friends.
You did not choose me,
but I have chosen you.
If the world hates you,
Know that first it hated me,
if the world hates you
know that first it hated me,
Father, as you are in me
and I am in you,
may they be one in us
so that the world may believe
that you have sent me.
This is my commandment:
love one another
as I have loved you
You are my friends….
You did not choose me…
