LEFONECHO
cognizant of your presence
this is our calling
our essence
Always before you
constantly aware
wherever one turns
you are surely there
Hashem, we are so lucky
to have you around
no matter what is going on
there, you can be found
Never alone
no need for concern
you are always there
when I learn or earn
Having you in focus
is of utmost importance
it gives so much value
to our Mitzvah performance
Knowing you are everywhere, gives us confidence
whatever happens is
providence not coincidence
Ritual performance alone
without connection is lacking bonding spiritually with Hashem
is the glue, our strongest backing
is the glue, our strongest backing
For so long the true meaning
of the word לפניך was hidden
although all over Torah & Tefillah
it is recited and written
it is recited and written
Now by knowing its meaning
our mission is clear
to focus more on Hashem
and serve Him sincere
Lefonecho is
the most powerful filter
preventing our minds
from going out of kilter
Lefonecho helps us overpower
negative influences from outside
only allows Toras Hashem
to be our Eternal guide
Don't try to hide
or go under cover
it's no use
Hashem is all over
Know,
before whom you stand acknowledge that Hashem
is the only one in command
Only to Him
is our loyalty
take full notice
children of royalty
Can't mess up
face-to-face
instead, His presence
let's embrace
Let's please him
with our actions
not violating His will
with an infraction
To commit a sin
is a grievous error
in the spiritual world
it creates a tremor
Hashem is right there
we are face-to-face
to sin before Him
is a shame, a disgrace
Instead, Hashem embrace
in order to save face
The cause must be retraced
for the sin to be erased
If Hashem’s presence
was shamed
only we are
to be blamed
Had לפניך been
in our conscience
we would have been
more cautious
Lefonecho helps us stop
makes us think, before we do
to be more mindful
well before we pursue
Is this a justified cause
do I need to pause
I ask myself, is this Hashem’s will or do I just care about the thrill
That would be arrogant
on our part
why not get off
to a good start
To only do
what Hashem wants
to differentiate
the do's from the dont's
Hashem is whom
we need to please
for He is the only power
that really sees
