PIT'CHU LI

Hebrew Text: Psalm 118:19
Music & English Text: Dan Nichols & Mason Cooper

[Dan Nichols writes:] Mason Cooper and I connected with the anticipation and excitement of the text, “Open up for me the gates of righteousness. I will enter them and give praise to God.” We were inspired by the concept of walking in to get ready to pray. Going into services is not only about asking God to open up the “gates of righteousness” for us, but in many ways we must also open them up for God. It’s a dialogue, a conversation, a reciprocated relationship of prayer.

CHORUS
Pitchu li shaarei tzedek, avo vam, odeh Yah.

VERSE 1
Open up Your righteous gates, as we enter in faith.
Singing songs with our hearts open, Adonai, we pray:

CHORUS

VERSE 2
You've given us the right to choose rightousness and truth.
So hear our prayer of love and hope as we give thanks to You.
