Go forth from your land, From your birthplace and from your father's house, To the land that I will show you!
You don't yet know what the future holds, But blessing is always waiting for you.
Lech Lecha — for your benefit, Even though the end is still unknown, For your pleasure and for your good, This is how the world is built!
Lech Lecha! For your benefit! Lech Lecha! For your good!
To the land that I will show you!
You don't yet know what awaits you, But step by step, the good will be revealed to you!
Jacob set out alone on the road, Fleeing Esau, fleeing the sword. With only a staff in his hand, not knowing what would be, Not yet imagining the home he would build.
And in the night, the ladder stood upon the earth, And behold, the heavens opened with a promise:
**And behold, I am with you, And I will protect you wherever you go!**
He left alone, without a home or rest, He returned with the tribes of Hashem, the beginning of a nation! Twelve tribes, a family that came to be, From a journey of flight, a promise fulfilled!
Lech Lecha! For your benefit! Lech Lecha! For your good!
To the land that I will show you!
You don't yet know what awaits you, But step by step, the good will be revealed to you!
Joseph was sold by his brothers, Taken down to Egypt, far from his father.
A pit and a prison, years of sorrow, Until another door opened before him.
And then the picture became clear, From exile, salvation emerged!
**You intended evil against me, But God intended it for good!**
You, too, are walking, not seeing where you're going, Asking yourself: When? Is this as far as I'll get? When a door closes, when a dream falls apart, Don't decide that the story has reached its final chapter.
Hashem doesn't need to examine what's in our hearts, Not in order to discover who we are. He lacks nothing; He needs absolutely nothing, He created the world in order to do good for us!
Lech Lecha! For your benefit! Lech Lecha! For your good!
To the land that I will show you!
You don't yet know what awaits you, But step by step, the good will be revealed to you!
Lech Lecha! For your benefit! For your good!
