PRAISING G*D's SPLENDOR

- Joy Krauthammer

Hod, my vessel containing
my essence, my energy, my expression

revealed as I play passionate percussion
in gratitude for the glory of G*d.

Bells ringing, singing in abunDance
in harmony hear
and respond
to my inner vessel of joy.

Joy is my Hod, 
in the Etz Chayyim
in the Tree of Life.

I dance
soar my soul,
sing, shout my song,
as I serve
the Divine Giver of Life.
Halleluyah!

My outer garments covering me,
strong deep royal colors, velvet
flowing pomegranate crimson
and splendor of purple painted silks,
sunrise and sunset,
color tones of the Temple.

Hod, receiving and
giving over my loving-kindness
to share sensations,
and my appreciation
for the Light
of the Eternal One.

Surrendering
as if floating,
held in soft waters,
I am in Oneness.

Feeling,
touching molecules
of space all around me,
I stretch my body,
my limbs
as high and wide and full
as my imagination can reach,
my voice as clear
as my channel can be,
my drumming
smoothly connected
to The Source of All BlesSings.

Blessed, I am drummed,
and feel fullness of embrace,
melding into the Waters of Life

My expansiveness
becomes One in harmony
with all present.
We receive each other,
reverberate vibrations
of praise to the Compassionate One,
an ecstatic meditation.
Halleluyah!

In awe
with timbrel in hand,
we have walked through
G*d's miraculous parted seas
to our freedom.

We can pray
and give gratitude
for all we can be,
to transcend
beyond ourselves.

Hod brings me
to my radiant community,
playful place
of music for Majesty.
Place of Tiferet, harmony.

I'm told,
angels are heard
in the tinkle,
the twinkle of my chimes.
Halleluyah!

Hodu L’Hashem Ki Tov
Ki L’Olam Hasdo, Hodu.
- Psalm 136  Give Thanks To G*d
