Ta-Shma – Ups and Downs Lyrics

Brother pick your head up, I know you're fed up
But the Jew's got the move, let the khah don't let up
Depression is not a sin it's worse
The Yetzer Hora got you in a hearse
You're lifeless, it's like you're dead and gone
But I refuse, I'm standing strong
I know that God exists
Even if I slip I must persist
Everything God does is good
Meditate until it's understood
There's no bad that descends from heaven
It's all good, it depends on perception
So check your eyes and recognize the truth
It's not easy believe me I struggle too
We all go up and down, rise and fall
May the King answer you when you call

Oh He's alone, the One and Only
Created me for His glory
With my rises and falls, my ups and downs
My soul calls, His head's crowned

I trust in God, may I not be shamed
Let my enemies not rejoice in my fame
May those who hope in You hold their head proud
And all instigators be cut down
Remember Your kindnesses and Your mercy
Please do not judge me, I am not worthy
Lead me in truth, show me Your way
For You are my God, I hope the whole day
My eyes look to You constantly
Make my heart beat to serve You honestly
Turn to me, take heed, and be gracious
Grant me sincerity and patience
The pains of my heart have increased
Release the grief, please I need relief
It's the Lord who supports all those who fall
And He is close to all who call

Oh He's alone, the One and Only
Created me for His glory
With my rises and falls, my ups and downs
My soul calls, His head's crowned

I call from the depths, I'm not
Hoping in man, I hope in the Lord
He opens His hands and opens up doors
Please send me Hashem's help
Most generous men sell, but still sell sin out of themselves
May I not rely on flesh and blood
May God provide my bread with love
I need to focus on what's really essential
Prioritize, fulfill my potential
To stop being dead, that's not really living
I recognize everything is God-given
But the pit is deep, I'm begging God pity me
Call my soul from these city streets and deliver me
We all go up and down, rise and fall
May the King answer you when you call

Oh He's alone, the One and Only
Created me for His glory
With my rises and falls, my ups and downs
My soul calls, His head's crowned
