1. THE WELLS OF SALVATION...........3:48
Behold, G-d is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For G-d the Lord is my strength and my song;
He also has become my salvation.
Therefore with joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
(Isaiah 12:2-3)
2. A WELL IN THE WILDERNESS.........6:06
The poor and needy seek water, but there is none,
Their tongues fail for thirst.
I, the LORD, will hear them;
I, the G-d of Israel will not forsake them.
I will open rivers in desolate heights.
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
(Isaiah 41:17-18)
3. CELEBRATION.................................9:07
When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was
filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has
done great things for them." The Lord has done great
things for us, whereof we are glad. Bring back our
captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South. Those
who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continu-
ally goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him.
(Psalm 126)
4. ON THE WINGS OF THE SPIRIT......3:48
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and
not faint.
(Isaiah 40:31
5. THE THIRSTY SOUL........................6:10
O G-d, You are my G-d;
Early will I seek you; My soul thirst for you;
My flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land
where there is no water.
So I have looked for you in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because your loving kindness is better than life.
My lips shall praise You.
Thus will I bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow
and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You
with joyful lips.
(Psalm 63:1-5)
6. RHAPSODY ON THE THEME...........11:07
"HAVA NAGILA" ("Come let us rejoice")
Though the fig tree may not blossom
...nor fruit be on the vine.
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
...and the fields yield no food;
Though the flock be cut off from the fold,
...and there be no herd in the stalls-
Yet will I rejoice in the Lord,
...I will joy in the G-d of my salvation.
(Habakkuk 3:19)
