This is a new song I produced with which I represented Israel at a song contest, the Euro Christian music festival that was meant to be the Christian version of the Eurovision song contest. It's a duet with a female Israeli singer. I appreciate your feedback.. I attach the YouTube and Spotify links, thanks!
The lyrics are exact quotes of the Gospel, in Hebrew and English, the same words in the 2 languages. I sacrificed a bit the musicality to keep the exact words of Jesus in their original order
Verse 1
F: .כְּשֵׁם שֶׁהָאָב אוֹהֵב אוֹתִי כֵּן גַּם אנִי אוֹהֵב אֶתְכֶם
M: As the Father- has loved me-, I have also -loved you;
Prechorus 1
F: עִמְדוּ בְּאַהֲבָתִי
M: Remain in my love.
Chorus
F: .אֵין אַהֲבָה גְּדוֹלָה -מֵאַהֲבָתוֹ שֶׁל הנּוֹתֵן-- אֶת נַפְשׁוֹ- בְּעַד יְדִידָיו
M: Greater love- has no one- than this-: that someone- lay down his life- for his friends.
Together: אֶהֱבוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה כְּמוֹ שֶׁאֲנִי אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם
Love one another - as I have loved you.
Verse 2
F: If you remain in My Word-, you will be truly my disciples- and you will know - the truth-
M: ". אִם תַּעַמְדוּ בּדְבָרִי, תַּלְמִידַי אַתֶּם בֶּאֱמֶת; 32 וְתֵדְעוּ אֶת הָאֱמֶת
Pre-chorus 2
F: and the truth will set you free
M: וְהָאֱמֶת תּשַׁחְרֵר אֶתְכֶם
Chorus 2
M: .אֵין אַהֲבָה גְּדוֹלָה -מֵאַהֲבָתוֹ שֶׁל הנּוֹתֵן-- אֶת נַפְשׁוֹ- בְּעַד יְדִידָיו
F: Greater love- has no one- than this-: that someone- lay down his life- for his friends.
Together: אֶהֱבוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה כְּמוֹ שֶׁאֲנִי אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם
Love one another as I have loved you.
Bridge:
M: I am with you always
F: אִתְּכֶם אֲנִי כָּל הַיָּמִים
Togheter: עַד קץ הָעוֹלָם
till the world's end
Chorus 3
Together: .אֵין אַהֲבָה גְּדוֹלָה -מֵאַהֲבָתוֹ שֶׁל הנּוֹתֵן-- אֶת נַפְשׁוֹ- בְּעַד יְדִידָיו
Greater love- has no one- than this-: that someone- lay down his life- for his friends.
אֶהֱבוּ זֶה אֶת זֶה כְּמוֹ שֶׁאֲנִי אָהַבְתִּי אֶתְכֶם
Love one another as I have loved you.
Beautiful, melodious and infused with the love that flows from the Trinity. A very nice blend of vocals and righteous instrumental backing. Awesome that you performed this in concert.
Beautiful song.
Of course, the lyrics is so wonderful.
I am so fortunate to have visited The Sea of Galilee, earlier this year.
Thank you for sharing this beauty!!!
Blessings,

I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
As a Catholic songwriter and singer myself, I want to contribute to the community and receive info on how to promote good Catholic songs to a wide audiences.
I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
I'm a music director at a Cathedral and a composer. I would love to hear other composers, music, ideas, etc. Additionally, I'd like to share my own music.
I am searching for a hymn sung on line in Canada - when I am confined to home and watch mass. I am a piano player for many years and would like to find the musical score.
I have written and recorded about 70 songs over the last two decades that are posted on my YouTube channel - Ronald St Martin songs. I would like to share them with a larger audience. Thank you and God bless your work Ron St Martin
I am a Catechist that believes that religious song is the prayer of the angels, that lifts the soul. What better way to get a child to feel the present of God's peace
I am a practicing Roman Catholic always trying to increase my faith and holiness. I like Christian music particularly prefer Catholic Christian when I am driving or at home completing tasks.
I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.
I am a resident organist and singer, also training choirs. I very much would appreciate learning more contemporary music to help integrate a wider and more diverse congregation. Thank you.
Need to replace copyrighted music on my YouTube Rosary channel (https://www.youtube.com/@mryan510) to stop the constant interruptions with ads. Perusing your site affords me with plenty of ad free solutions. I hope to donate to your site when I make my selections.
