If It Weren't for Your Law
I am kind of like a fallen leaf
Tired from the chase
And there are storms, and everything flies
Just hold paper after paper
My urges brought me to their chambers
False fame, a cage of gold
And like always, and more than ever
I need you now
If your law had not been my delight
Your law had not been my delight
I almost perished in my affliction
You lit up my days
If your law had not been my delight
Your law had not been my delight
I almost perished in my affliction
You have saved my life
With my father, on Tuesday
Learning some Ben Ish Hai1
And all around, the radiance like that of the flock for sacrifice
Indeed, the nation of Israel is alive
And if I have a few hit songs
Mother says it's because of my designated times for study,
"Listen, son, just rejoice, my son,
In your share, always."
If your law had not been my delight
Your law had not been my delight
I almost perished in my affliction
You lit up my days
If your law had not been my delight
Your law had not been my delight
I almost perished in my affliction
You have saved my life.
You illuminate, you redeem, you uncover, you bring to life,
You deliver love into my heart, into my soul
You are my living waters
When my soul is weary
You are my cure and my medicine
A shelter from the storm
You are the scent of heaven, the moon and the sun, the sky and the earth
Better than thousands of gold and silver
Kingship and glory
We have no other
You are eternity
Eternal light
