Believers
Moshe Hecht Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get a glimpse of your glory for a moment
To be grateful, and to be faithful
We will do then we will listen
We will commit before we reason
In this fertile field where faith is nourished
Where sons of believers flourish
Believers, sons of believers
Brothers and sisters
And who do we lean, our father in heaven
Our strength and our reason
To believe is to sow, the seeds to grow
Within your soul, within the world you know
And whose world is it
From nothingness you come for a visit
The most complete and most perfect form of existence
No room for resistance
I don't feel you all the time
And you're not always on my mind
But I've got you from time to time
And I know the Divine, yes i know the Divine
It all began at mount Sinai
My emunah planted inherently
So shepherd me, have faith in me and see what i can be
In "Believers," Moshe Hecht sings about the constant yearning for inspiration and connection with the Divine. He speaks of the power of faith and the importance of committing to it before fully understanding it. He highlights the connection between believers, as brothers and sisters, and their shared father in heaven who provides strength and reason. The lyrics also emphasize the idea that belief is a living thing that must be nourished and grown within the soul and the world around us. The song acknowledges that belief is not always easy, and there may be moments of doubt or distance, but it all stems from the foundation laid at Mount Sinai.
The first few lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The constant search for inspiration and connection with the Divine is a common theme in spiritual and religious music. The line "To be grateful, and to be faithful" serves as a reminder of the importance of these qualities in nurturing belief.
The verse "We will do then we will listen, we will commit before we reason" is taken from Exodus 24:7 and speaks to the idea that sometimes belief must come before understanding. It is a call to trust in one's faith and follow it before trying to fully comprehend it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Believers, sons of believers, brothers and sisters" emphasizing the connection that believers share. It highlights the fact that faith is not just an individual endeavor but something that can be shared and built upon within a community.
The final lines of the song, "My emunah planted inherently, so shepherd me, have faith in me and see what I can be" speak to the idea that faith is not just something to be obtained, but something that is already within us. This line is reminiscent of the saying "the kingdom of God is within you" and emphasizes that belief is not just external, but something that is a part of who we are.
