Parashat Beshalach - Hashem Nissi | Sparks of Sinai

Описание: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/track/5OSuMs...

This song is a meditation on Parashat Beshalach and the moment after redemption, when freedom arrives before faith does. The gates are opened, miracles unfold, yet gratitude fades quickly and expectation replaces awe. When hunger and fear return, blame follows, and in that space, Amalek appears, not only as an enemy from the past, but as the evil that enters when faith weakens. Moshe’s altar, Hashem Nissi, “Hashem is my miracle” is not built in celebration, but as a warning.

(Verse 1)
The gates were opened
No sword behind us
No blood on our doorposts

We walked out joyous
But not in awe
Alive
Not awakened

Egypt fell
We did not

(Short Refrain)
Freedom came easy
Faith did not

(Verse 2)
We crossed on dry ground
With borrowed courage
Sang borrowed songs

But when the road stayed open
And the sky stayed silent
We asked for more

Water now
Bread, we’re hungry
Carry us like before

As if chains were comfort
As if slavery fed us

(Pre-Chorus)
And when hunger spoke
We answered with blame

(Chorus)
You brought us out to kill us
We said it with our mouths
You brought us out to kill us
We said it without fear

Is Hashem with us
Or want to kill us

(Verse 3)
That question opened a door

From behind
Where faith had thinned
Where strength uncommon

Not a nation
A condition

Amalek

(Bridge)
Remember
Write it
Raise it

Remember
Write it
Do not forget

Not what they did
What we allowed

(Verse 4)
Evil does not die once
It waits

It wears new names
It walks inside us

Destroyed in one place
Reborn in another

As long as faith is optional

(Bridge)
Hashem Nissi
Hashem Nissi
Write it down
Raise the stone

Hashem Nissi
From age to age
The war remains
The choice is ours

(Outro)
So Moshe built an altar
Not to celebrate
But to warn

Hashem is my miracle
From generation to generation

And the war remains
Until faith is earned
