Lyrics

Shehechayanu
(commissioned by members of Temple Solel in honor of John and Nancy Linder’s 25th Anniversary)

At this special hour in our lives
We take the time to recognize
The things that we have seen and done
In this moment shared by everyone

Our hearts are filled with gratitude
Our sense of purpose is renewed
And words of blessing roll off of our tongues

Shehechayanu, v’kiymanu, v’higyanu
Lazman hazeh

Through challenges we’ve overcome
Our many dreams have merged as one
This life we have created
Is so precious and appreciated

We thank you God for blessing us
Sustaining us when times were tough
Allowing us to reach this sacred day

Shehechayanu, v’kiymanu, v’higyanu
Lazman hazeh

We find strength in one another
In the best times or in the worst
We look upon each day together
As though it was our first

Shehechayanu, v’kiymanu, v’higyanu
Lazman hazeh
