Meet "emet"

 
Blessed are You Adonai our God
King of the universe, God of our fathers
Our King our Mighty One our Creator, Redeemer, Maker
The Holy One, the Holy One of our father Jacob

Shepherd, oh Shepherd of Israel
The Good King who does good to all, every day
He has done good, He does good, He will do good for us
He rewarded us, He rewards us, He will reward us forever with grace

Hallelujah praise His Name
Give glory to the King of kings
Hallelujah praise His Name
Give glory to the King of kings

The Merciful One will reign over us forever
The Merciful One will be blessed in heaven and earth
Through all generations and glorified in us through eternity
And honored in us forever and for worlds without ending

Shepherd, oh Shepherd of Israel
The Good King who does good to all, every day
He has done good, He does good, He will do good for us
He rewarded us, He rewards us, He will reward us forever with grace
...forever with grace; ...forever with grace

Ok, so why are we calling ourselves "emet"?" In Hebrew, Emet means Truth. The majority of our songs are taken from the scriptures, and the ones that are not from the Word, are usually telling bits of my testimony.
The prayer, Birkat Hamazon, is an ancient Hebrew prayer that is usually said after a meal. The message in the prayer is that Hashem has provided for us, and always will, because He is faithful.
