And He said, "The star that leads the way is your star."

When suffering grows too much to bear
Just remember He is there
Among the stars He hears the words you say
And those you kept away
And while you live life in despair
Don't forget that He's been there
Upon the cross where He was made to lay
And live His dying day
Do you think He knows no pain?
How could he not when you heard Him say
אלי למא שבקתני אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi)
אלי למא שבקתני אלי אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi, Eloi)
If God and angels didn't care
Then why had He been sent to share
'Cos with His cross He carried all the way
He taught us how to pray
If Heaven has no time to spare
Then why is He a solitaire
He's been a man whom fellowmen betray
He loves them anyway
Does His tears fall with the rain?
Yes He's crying when you hear Him say
אלי למא שבקתני אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi)
אלי למא שבקתני אלי אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi, Eloi)
If someone strikes you when you're weak
Just smile and turn the other cheek
Bear no grudge today - unclench your fist
Letting go is bliss
Don't you think He feels your pain?
How can he not when you hear him say
אלי למא שבקתני אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi)
אלי למא שבקתני אלי (Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi)
אלי אלי אלי למא שבקתני אלי (Eloi, Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachtani, Eloi)
אלי אלי אלי למא שבקתני (Eloi, Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachtani)
אלי אלי (Eloi, Eloi)
אני אוהב אותך אלי (Ani ohev otcha, Eloi)
אלי אלי (Eloi, Eloi)
My first attempt at a song with Christian elements. :) This whole early Christian/gnostic hoo-has has finally taken a toll on me. I think anyone who's inspired can write gospels - they will never be canonical, but they're works from the heart nonetheless. After all, if there's a scribe as ridiculous as a Gospel of Judas, why not a Gospel of Poopee, right? :D
Typing Hebrew is very jialat. Right-to-left script and I get confused whether to click backspace or delete because the cursor moves from right to left!
And I hope I pronounced "Eloi, Lema Sabachtani" correctly man lol.
