Make my life Your temple
L-rd at this season start
To pull down every idol I have raised up in my heart
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Take my defiled altar
Come and cleanse and come repair
So every time I falter I can run to meet you there
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
And with every candle on the menorah
That illuminates the night
Comes a prayer You’d kindle
In me Y’shua
A desire for Your fire, for Your light
Make of my mortal body
A house worthy of Your name
Rid me of what’s ungodly and every hidden thing of shame
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Take my supply of oil
Not enough to burn long I fear
But, oh how I pray I may one day say “A great miracle happened here!”
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
L-rd at this season start
To pull down every idol I have raised up in my heart
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Take my defiled altar
Come and cleanse and come repair
So every time I falter I can run to meet you there
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
And with every candle on the menorah
That illuminates the night
Comes a prayer You’d kindle
In me Y’shua
A desire for Your fire, for Your light
Make of my mortal body
A house worthy of Your name
Rid me of what’s ungodly and every hidden thing of shame
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Take my supply of oil
Not enough to burn long I fear
But, oh how I pray I may one day say “A great miracle happened here!”
On this Chanukah
On this Feast of Dedication
I dedicate myself to You
Chanukah

Beautiful lyrics Cori G! I'm sending them to my niece in New York who married a Jew this year and is in the midst of celebrating Chanukah with his family.
Those falls are about 40 minutes from my house btw...
What a lovely prayer. Blessings. Gwen
Chanukah... in my heart...
