lyrics

Love is not a receding horizon we reach for
Love is the ground, love is the ground on which we lay

Worthiness is not a mountaintop we strive toward
It is the field, it is the field in which we play

אַהֲבָה רַבָּה אֲהַבְתָּנוּ, ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ. חֶמְלָה גְּדולָה וִיתֵרָה חָמַלְתָּ עָלֵינוּ:
Ahava raba ahavtanu hashem elokeinu
Chemla gedola viteira chamalta aleynu


Translation:

With abundant love you have loved us, Divine One
With overflowing compassion you have compassioned upon us

(from the blessing that leads into the Shema prayer, traditionally recited every morning)
