lyrics

בליבי יש קול אשר אותך שומע
וקולך ברור ועז כצהרי היום
אם אשמע – מה טוב
אך אם אמרֶה את פיך
איך אוכל עיני בלילה לעצום?

כי בחרת בי, הצדקת וקידשת
וּקראתני לעבוד בכרמך, אלוהיי
הן ידעתי כי שמוע טוב מִזֶבַח
אניח לרגליך את כל רצונותיי
כי ידעתי - הן שמוע טוב מִזֶבַח
אני בידיך - היה אדון חיי

בליבי יש צליל אשר שירך יודע
זה האושר הצרוף באש ההקרבה
ברגעים של דמעות
איך אוכל להביע
כמה טוב אתה, קרוב, אל אהבה

---

There's a voice in my heart that hears You
And Your voice is as clear as the sun
If I obey – it is well
But if I disobey
How could I close my eyes at night?

For You have chosen me
Justified and sanctified me
And You have called me to work in your vineyard
I know that to obey is better than sacrifice
Therefore I shall put all my desires at Your feet
For I know - to obey is better than sacrifice
I'm in Your hands – be the Lord of my life

There's a sound in my heart that knows Your song
It's the joy refined by the fire of self-sacrifice
In moments of tears, how could I express
How good You are, so near, a God of Love
