Luister naar het indrukwekkende ‘Lead Me On’ op de Internationale Herdenkingsdag voor de Holocaust
Elk jaar is op 27 januari de Internationale Herdenkingsdag voor de Holocaust. Op deze dag staan mensen over de hele wereld stil bij de Jodenvervolging tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog.
In 2019 zong Pearl Jozefzoon in de Sint Catharijnekerk in Brielle het indrukwekkende lied ‘Lead Me On’, dat onder andere over de Holocaust vertelt. Het vertelt over het lijden van de Joden, maar dat zij tegelijkertijd hun blik op God gericht hielden. Wat krachtig en indrukwekkend!
Kijk en luister je mee naar ‘Lead Me On’?
Liedtekst
Shoulder to the wheel
For someone else's selfish gain
Here there is no choosing
Working the clay
Wearing their anger
like a ball and chain.
Fire in the field
Underneath a blazing sun
But soon the sun was faded
And freedom was a song
I heard them singing
when the day was done
Singing to the holy One.
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking,
lead on.
Waiting for the train
Labelled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
Where are we going
is it very far
Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
In chambers made for sleeping, forever
Voices like thunder
in a mighty roar
Crying to the Lord.
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking,
lead on.
Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why.
Oh Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking,
lead on.
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking,
lead on.
