Parashat Yitro - Two Words of Fire | Sparks of Sinai

Описание: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/album/4f5bK5...

A chasidic folk reflection on Parashat Yitro, moving from the wisdom of shared leadership and justice to the awe of standing at Sinai. The song centers on two commandments which carry the others, reminding us that faith in one God and the sanctity of Shabbat are the foundations that sustain all others. Through a devotional, chant-like melody, it calls listeners to resist false gods of power and gain, and to return, again and again, to trust, and divine presence.

(Verse 1)
Judges rose among the people
Thousands set in place
Men of truth and steady hands
To carry law with grace

Not for gold and not for fear
Not for pride or name
Only hearts that would not bend
When judgment came

(Verse 2)
One voice said, Na-a-seh
One will, one breath
A nation standing shoulder to shoulder
Between life and death

A fence was drawn around the mountain
So no foot would stray
Fire waited on the summit
For a Holy day

(Pre-Chorus)
The voice spoke once
The voice spoke twice
And fear fell heavy
Like falling ice

(Chorus)
Two words of fire
Before silence came
One God above us
One holy flame

No other power
No borrowed throne
Remember the day
That is His alone

(Verse 3)
Not all laws need reasons
Some are written plain
But two must be remembered
Again and again

Do not bow to what you build
Do not serve your gain
And rest when He commanded
Trusting in His name

(Bridge)
Gold can speak like thunder
Power wears a crown
Even freedom has its idols
That pull a man down

But the cost of faith is smaller
Than the cost of loss
When a people forget the mountain
And worship what they’ve bought

(Chorus)
Two words of fire
Still light the way
No other master
No other day

Six days rising
Hands in stone
The seventh returns us
Back to the throne

(Outro)
If we listen through the ages
Through the noise and fear
The Presence will draw closer
The mountain still is here

Not in fire
Not in sound
But in a people
Who remember what they found
