A Place I Will Show You

Israel, the land that is not known

The land of wonderful revelation

Where God’s Torah came to rest

Where God’s hidden Torah

Will be realized

Dig out my ears

To the depths of my fingers and toes

Out of the dust of the land of Israel

You formed a body with hollow ears

And with this body

You hollowed out my ears

To hear the Word of God

Out of the dust of the ground

God formed Adam

And He said to Abraham

Go unto a place that I will show you

And he went out

Not knowing where unto he was going

Jacob awoke

He thought, "Surely the Lord is in this place

And I was not aware of it"

He was afraid and said

"How awesome is this place!

This is none other than the house of God

This is the gate of heaven"
