Welcome Back
Elana Horwitz
On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
I stand hurting before You, Hashem
Ashamed of my immature behavior
Embarrassed by my petty demands
But You give me another chance, Hashem
You make me love You more
Your eagerness to forgive inspires me
To understand You better, Hashem
To listen more closely
To talk more quietly so that You can hear me.
When I humble my self into someone smaller
Our relationship is that much larger
How appreciative I am of our renewed closeness
Which today I promise never to compromise.
Hashem
You create human beings to emulate Your chessed
And to show us an example of Your love.
I feel so privileged to have been shown this love.
Today I say to a forgiving person
My dear friend
I am ashamed of my immature behavior
I feel embarrassed by my petty demands
I promise bli neder to understand you better
To listen more closely
To talk more quietly so that you can hear me.
By humbling my self into someone smaller
Our relationship has grown larger
Thank you for giving me another chance
You put more love in the world
How appreciative I am of our renewed closeness
I never again want it compromised
And as I hold you close in my heart
I sing
Welcome back
