HA-TEESH-KACH
Joel Chernoff

Ha-teesh-kach ee-shan oo-lah
    mai-ra-chaim ben beet-nah gam
    ai-leh teesh-kach-nah
    van-no-chee lo esch-kan-chaich

Hain al kah-pa-yeem
    chan-ko-teech
    cho-mo-ta-yeech
    no-ge-dee tah-meed

Can a women forget her nursing child
Or fail to have compassion upon him?
She may forget but know it or know
Israel you are always before me?

Behold I have engraved my people
On the palms of my hands
Your walls are always before me, Israel
How can I forget?

Thus saith the Lord, If the sun that lights the day,
Or the moon and stars that light the evening sky?
If these laws I forget or broke before me no more be,
Only then will I forget you, Israel?

Hebrew Translation from Isaiah 49:15&16
"Can a women forget her nursing child,
that she should not have compassion on the
son of her womb?  Yea, they may forget, yet
will I not forget thee.

Behold, I have engraved thee upon the
palms of my hands, they walls are continually before me."
Back  to Lamb.
