Hi ladies,

I would like to teach my girls this song, but I don't remember the words! Does anyone know the lyrics to the song Hineni?

I remember some of the words...

Avraham:
My only son, my one and only son
My pride and joy, he was my little boy,
But my love for You Hashem, was even greater,
As much as I felt for him, how much more for you.

I said Hineni, Hineni, and I was there,
I said I'm Avraham your servant, a father who cares (?)
But I know that you care too, and I loyal and true (?)
So the gift that You gave me I now give back to You

There's more to the song. Anyone? I was hoping to use it for Rosh Chodesh.
Thanks!

It is a very long song!

The only one I sort of remember is Rochel. But I'm really not sure I have the words 100%.

Rochel:
I always dreamed
Like every girl I knew
Of that special day
Where well stand together true.
But I never thought Id get betrayed
By my very own father...

I said hineini hineini and stood right by her side.
I said I'm rochel the chosen one
But Leah will be bride
I cast my dreams aside.
Threw away my pride.
I couldn't stand Leah's shame
When the signs wouldn't be the same...

Oh hear my one dear father
You can't leave them alone.
Learn from your daughter
Who gave away what should have been her own.
So why dear g-d are you jealous
Of a mere wood and stone.
Please Hashem in the zechus of rochel
Bring your children home.

Hashem:
You've spoken well my daughter
I hear a mother's cries
There's a reward for your kindness
Now wipe your teary eyes.

There's hope for your future
And promise for better days.
Be comforted dear Rochel
Vishavu me'eretz oiyeiv

Oh wow, thank you so much!! That's amazing! Much more than I can remember!
If everyone posts bits and fragments of what they remember, we might have the full song!
If you remember anymore, please feel free to add Wink Thanks again!

I learned the bolded as "Where we'd stand together, two" (as in "the two of us")
I don't remember the Yitzchak and Yaakov part.

I always dreamed
Like every girl I knew
Of that special day
When we'd stand together two
But I never dreamed I'd find
The one I've always prayed for
And then be left behind
By the cruelty of my father

I stood right by her side
I said I'm rochel the chosen one
But leah will be the bride
I I cast my dreams aside
Threw away my pride
I couldn't stand leahs shame
When the signs wouldn't be the same

Oh hear my cry dear father
You can't leave them alone
See your daughter who gave away
What should have been her own
Why are you jealous
Of mere wood and stone
Please hashem in the zchus of rochel
Bring my children home

You've spoken well dear daughter
I hear a mother's cry
There's a reward for your kindness
So wipe your teary eye
There's hope for your children
And promise for better days
Be comforted dear rochel
Vshavu m'eretz oyeiv

My treasure life
I wanted so to live
So much to do
There was so much more to give
But when father said, "Let's go"
I was three because him
Ready and prepared for shamayim

It's not very accurate. But maybe it'll help you remember the parts that are missing. Please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes.
My only Son
My one and only son
My pride and joy
He was my little boy
But my love for you hashem was even greater
As much as I felt for him
How much more... For my creator
Hinneni, and I was there
I said I'm Avraham your servent a father who cares
And I know that you care too and I'm loyal and true
So the gift that you gave me I now give back to you
Oh hear my cries dear father you can't leave them alone
My children suffer abandoned the've lost their way home.
You're a father of compassion and I have been the same
Please Hashem, in the zechus of Avraham , for they carry my holy name

I treasured life and I wanted so to live
So much to do, there was so much more to give
But when father said let's go I was there beside him
ready and prepared to be mekadesh shem shamayim
Hinneni
And I was there
I said I'm yitzchok your son for this mitzvah I'm prepared
But dear father I'm afrid that I'll tremble or shake
so tie me down I'll close my eyes to be your sacrifice
Oh hear my cries dear father
you can't leave them alone
My children suffer abandoned
They've lost their way home

Fill in the blanks . I'm missing a few lines here
Please Hashem in the zechus of Yitzchok....


My children cry and I cry along within
I always have felt the pain of tzar gidul banim but when I kissed my long lost son I cried shema yisroel
you Hashem are one and your children remain yisroel
Hinneni
and I was there I said I'm Yaakov your servant to whom every son was dear
I put my life at stake
fought Eisav for your sake
Please Hashem in the zechus of yisroel
Fill in the missing stanza.

I always dreamed like every girl I knew
of that special day when we'd stand together two
But I never dreamed I'd find the one I always prayed for
and then be left behind by the cruelty of my father
Hinneni and I was there
I said I'm rachel the chosen one....... But Leah will be bride
I cast my dreams aside threw away my pride
I couldn't stand Leah's shame when the signs would't be the same
Oh hear my cries dear father you can't leave them alone
my children suffer abandoned they've lost their way home
so how could you be jealous of a mere wood and stone Please Hashem in the zechus of Rachel....Bring my children home
You've spoken well my daughter I won't leave them alone
Minei kolech mibechie veinayim midimah Ki yesh sachor lepeulaseich veshavu veshavu veshavu meretz oyev I'll bring them home I'll bring them home I'll bring them home

Yitzchok - ... their way home,
I'm a child that ran to serve you
My children do the same
Please Hashem in the zechus of Yitzchok
They bear my holy name

Yaakov - ...I cry along with them...
I am Yaakov the patriarch
Whose every son was dear
I worried and I prayed
That they'd follow in my ways
They bore, oh thousands in the army of Hashem
Oh, hear my cries...
Please Hashem in the zechus of Yisroel
Your children's holy name

Do you still need the words? My daughters class is doing this song and just came home with it. There are some missing words in the above lyrics. As a caveat, I remember some of the words slightly differently from how my daughters sheet reads but I guess no big changes.

This was, and still is, my favorite song. I used to sing my kids to sleep with it so they've known it by heart for years.
