Returning to the Prayer: Mercy, Weariness, Hineni #Shorts
Midway through the song, the opening prayer returns. We hear mercy before the dawn, a heart that is weary before God, and again the words hineni l'fanecha, here I am before You with an open heart.
Repetition in contemplative music can work like a slow breath. Each return may feel a little softer than the one before.
If these lines speak to you, the full song is there for a longer, unhurried listen.
Lyrics
Rachamim, rachamim, lifnei ha-shachar
Elohai, libi ayef l'fanecha
Hineni l'fanecha, b'lev patuach
