Rope of Hope

I'm envisioning God throwing us a lifeline from the heavens

This rope is His Word

Letters from the spiritual realm that we can hold

I've never been able to do pull ups or climb a rope

Even top Torah scholars fluent in Hebrew don't get very far

Compared to the vast distance from us to Beyond

What matters is the connection

We all depend on the Holy Spirit to elevate us

As we cling to the Word... individually and together

מִי־לִ֥י בַשָּׁמָ֑יִם

וְ֝עִמְּךָ֗ לֹֽא־חָפַ֥צְתִּי בָאָֽרֶץ

And with You, I desire nothing on the earth."

מְקִ֥ימִ֣י מֵעָפָ֣ר דָּ֑ל

מֵ֝אַשְׁפֹּ֗ת יָרִ֥ים אֶבְיֽוֹן

"He who raises me from poor dirt;

will lift the needy from ash heaps."

when I am lifted up from the earth,

will draw all people to myself."
