Song: River in Judea by Jack Feldman

These are the lyrics to Jack Feldman's "River in Judea with an accompanying Youtube Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fMRSMKFN6Q  Jack Feldman's "River in Judea"

Oftentimes I dream of music,
Of the river that freely flows.
And it sings a song sweeter than honey,

One everybody knows.


Late at night, I hear it singing.
Then again when I wake at dawn.
And it fills me up with hope and goodwill,
The will to go on,
Go on.
(Chorus)
There is a river in Judea
That I heard of long ago.
And it's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out
To know.



I believe it keeps on trav'lin'
But it rests on the Sabbath day.
And the time when it pauses in stillness,
I almost hear it pray.



When I'm weary and downhearted,
How I long for the song it sings,
For the calm within its gentle blue,
The peace that it brings, it brings.



(Chorus)
There is a river in Judea
That I heard of long ago.
And it's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out
To know.



May the time not be too distant
When we meet by the river (meet by the) shore.
'Til then dream of that wonderful day
As we sing once more, once more:



(Chorus)
There is a river in Judea (hallelu)
That I heard of long ago (hallelu),
It's a singing, ringing river
That my soul cries out (my soul cries out)
To the river in Judea.
(optional repeat)
Hallelujah!!!
