Shema—
His words leak
Into the stones
Of the pasture wall,
Into the folds of
My heart.
Shema—
Open our ears
And let our actions
Reflect the love
Of our God.
Shema—
Listen closely;
Let our attention
Wander over the
Goodness of
His word.
Shema—
With all our heart,
Strength, and soul,
Desire the guidance
He provides out of
The love we cannot
Understand.
Shema—
Help us comprehend,
Lord, open our ears
To who You are.
Shema—
"Shema" is the Hebrew word for 'listen'
