Israel

Like a mother who protects a child
I went to you, oh Israel!
In my arms I carried you
Even before you had form, I called you

I was by your side when no one knew
Where there was no fame, no one knew you
You were a child and I already loved you
Now that you have grown, you distance yourself from me

But how can you act like this?
All the time, Israel, I took care of you
I didn't let bread be missing from your table
You only didn't stay naked because I clothed you

You climbed mountains, you fasted
My presence was enough for you
You prefer to believe in false words
But don't be deceived, because all of this passes

All of this passes, all of this passes
Don't deceive yourself, because all of this passes
If my anointing is not in you
Tell me, Israel, who will remember you?
