Hineni Title Track Mordechai Ben David MBD Jewish Music Lyrics

Hineni is one of MBD's first albums. This song is classic. 

I found these producer's notes for the album on Mostlymusic.com:

Liner notes for MBD Hineni We live in a time when directness of emotion and resourcefulness of imagination are primary to sustain success. The entertainer who emerges and survives must have great depth and venturesome to further develop his potential and to continue to absorb new sounds and experiences. Mordechai Ben David, endowed with and exceptionally talented voice, has already captivated many audiences in the States and in Israel. He is gifted with the ability to inspire his listeners, possessing the unique capacity to convey the emotional feelings inherent in the words and melodies of his selections. He already ranks as one of the greatest singers in Jewish Music today, and continues on his successful road to stardom. The Neginah has a record of outstanding achievement and popularity in a remarkably short period of time , and shows infinite promise for the future. Yisroel Lamm, Neginah\'s conductor and director, is considered to be one of the most imaginative and creative people in Chassidic Music of today. Together with Yitzchok Gross, Neginah\'s very dynamic and capable production manager, he has been able to produce some of the greatest musical masterpieces of our time.

Here's the song:

A dark cloud of despair surrounds your heart

Disillusion with life your face imparts

You are wandering in a world of confusion

Reality is hidden behind the web of illusion.

Chorus

So my brothers put your faith in the Above

Say "Hineni," I am ready to serve you with love.

The truth lies at the end of a forest dense

Your heart is your compass your spiritual sense

Let it lead you along the right road

And let the words of the Torah be your navigational code.

Our father Abraham was called by G-D to sacrifice his son

With the cry of Hineni the deed was done

Now what will become of our father's devotion

If we won’t say Hineni in our every emotion

Our forefathers smiled as they died in peace

But the cries they began will never cease

The words they cried shook the heavens above

They said Hineni, we are here with love
