David Rothberg - Shelter of the Lord (Hashkiveinu)

Shelter of the Lord
By David Rothberg, based on Hashkiveinu from Shabbat evening liturgy

When my weary head falls to my pillow
I think of all that happened in the day
Friends’ and family’s faces float before me
I hope that everyone will be OK

Lay us down in peace and in kindness
Wake us up to live another morn
Help us see a glimmer of salvation
Let us know the shelter of the Lord

Show us just a little of Your wisdom
Wrap us in the mercy of Your way
Shield us from whoever wants to hurt us
Evil forces, take ‘em all away

Lay us down in peace and in kindness
Wake us up to live another morn
Help us see a glimmer of salvation
Let us know the shelter of the Lord

Guard us when we’re coming and we’re going
Keep an eye on us when there’s a storm
Cover up our heads with Your protection
Grant us life and peace forever more

Lay us down in peace and in kindness
Wake us up to live another morn
Help us see a glimmer of salvation
Let us know the shelter of the Lord
