הַעֲבִירֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה

[Verse 1]

When the night was heavy
And the answers felt far
When the body was weary
And the healing seemed hard

There was a voice inside us
Calling soft and clear
Every trial has a blessing
Even hidden here

[Pre-Chorus]

The Rav reminds us every day
Look deeper and you'll find the way

[Chorus]

הוֹדוּ לַה׳ כִּי טוֹב
כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ¹

*Hodu laHashem ki tov, ki l'olam chasdo.*

[Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good; His kindness endures forever.]

הַעֲבִירֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה²

*Ha'avireinu livrachah.*

[Turn it into a blessing.]

You turned the pain to light
You gave us strength to stand again
And courage for the fight

Grateful for the healing
Grateful for each breath
Grateful for the love that held us
Through the shadow of the test

[Verse 2]

For the hands that held us steady
For the hearts that stayed nearby
For the tears that became tefillos
For the hope that did not die

Every moment of the struggle
Every תְּקוּפָה³ that we knew

*Tekufah.*

[Season. Period. Chapter.]

Was another step of growing
Another way through

[Pre-Chorus]

What looked like darkness yesterday
Was bracha on the way

[Chorus]

הוֹדוּ לַה׳ כִּי טוֹב
כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ¹

*Hodu laHashem ki tov, ki l'olam chasdo.*

[Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good; His kindness endures forever.]

הַעֲבִירֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה²

*Ha'avireinu livrachah.*

[Turn it into a blessing.]

You carried every scar
And every place that broke apart
Has made us who we are

Grateful for recovery
Grateful spirits rise

With אֱמוּנָה⁴ in our hearts

*Emunah.*

[Faith.]

And thanksgiving in our eyes

[Bridge]

We are ready
Ready for the fight

With אֱמוּנָה⁴ as our fire

*Emunah.*

[Faith.]

And gratitude as light

Stronger now
Than we have ever been
Every challenge was the doorway
To begin again

[Final Dance Chorus]

הוֹדוּ לַה׳ כִּי טוֹב
כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ¹

*Hodu laHashem ki tov, ki l'olam chasdo.*

[Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good; His kindness endures forever.]

הַעֲבִירֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה²

*Ha'avireinu livrachah.*

[Turn it into a blessing.]

We sing and we believe
Every season has its blessing
Every wound can heal and breathe

Grateful for the body
Grateful for the soul
Grateful for the journey
That is making us whole

הוֹדוּ לַה׳ כִּי טוֹב
כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ¹

*Hodu laHashem ki tov, ki l'olam chasdo.*

[Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good; His kindness endures forever.]
