Lyrics

Aliyah’s Call

(Isaiah 43:5-6)

Verse 1

From the north and south, from the east and west,
A journey of faith, a historic quest.
To the ancient hills, to the promised land,
Aliyah’s call, by God’s own hand.

Chorus

Aliyah’s call, a return to home,
In God’s grace, no more to roam.
From every nation, under every sky,
To Jerusalem, the spirits fly.

Verse 2

In the footsteps of old, through the desert sand,
Fulfilling the words, that the prophets planned.
A gathering of hearts, a covenant’s tale,
In Jerusalem’s streets, their prayers prevail.

Bridge

As eagles soar, over mountains high,
To Zion’s gates, their souls draw nigh.
In this sacred dance, history’s embrace,
In Jerusalem, God shows His face.

Chorus

Aliyah’s call, a return to home,
In God’s grace, no more to roam.
From every nation, under every sky,
To Jerusalem, the spirits fly.

Outro

In the city of peace, in the heart of the Jew,
Aliyah’s call, forever true.
A promise kept, a dream fulfilled,
In God’s grace, forever willed.
