Lately, I’ve been reflecting on a new perspective about our relationship with Hashem. Instead of seeing Him as distant, waiting for us to beg or plead, I’ve come to understand how close He truly is-providing everything we need, even when we can’t fully perceive it.
The nursery rhyme we all learned as children says it so simply: “Hashem is here, Hashem is there, Hashem is truly everywhere.” If Hashem is truly everywhere, then we are actually within Him, much like a fetus in a mother’s womb. What’s fascinating about a fetus is that it lacks the sense of sight. It receives everything it needs from the placenta and its mother, yet it can’t truly see what’s happening because it’s enveloped within the womb. In much the same way, we may not fully perceive Hashem’s presence, but He is surrounding us, providing for us, and guiding us every step of the way.
Hashem’s love for us is unconditional, and everything He gives us is ultimately for our good, even if it’s hard to recognize in the moment. This perspective reminds us that goodness is always unfolding, leading to even more good, endlessly.
Joining forces with Tantzers to bring this video to life was a natural fit. An organization dedicated to bringing joy, love, and meaningful experiences to sick children and their families during their hardest times, Tantzers goes beyond their incredible events to offer a family center-a space where support and connection flourish, embodying the message of Hashem’s constant care and love, even in the darkest moments.
Lyrics:
ה' הוא אבא טוב והוא תמיד מתפאר בי רואה בי רק ת'נקודות הטובות
רואה שאני רוצה להיות טובה לא יוצא לי וחסרות לי כולה כמה תפילות
וה' הוא גם ראה את הרצון שהיה לי שניסיתי לא אמרתי נואש
רואה בבזיון שלי במר שהרגשתי איך התחלתי כל פעם שוב מחדש
וה' יתברך תמיד אוהב אותי
ותמיד יהיה לי רק טוב
ה' יתברך תמיד אוהב אותי ותמיד יהיה לי רק טוב
ויהיה לי עוד יותר טוב
ועוד יותר טוב
ועוד יותר טוב
ועוד יותר טוב
ועוד יותר טוב
ועוד יותר טוב
ותמיד יהיה לי רק טוב
שומע, מרחם עלי ותמיד עונה לי
ואם עדיין לא ממשיך לחכות
מלא אותי בזה שאתה תמיד אוהב'תי
תתן לי כל יום מחדש מתנות
ותנהיג אותי ברחמים כאלו כמו שבעולם הזה נקרא רחמים
שיראו כולם שכן אתה שומע תפילות
ונחייך נהיה בריאים ונשיר
(פזמון)
ותהיה לי פרנסה
תהיה לי עשירות
ורווקים ורווקות יהיה להם זיווג
תהיה גם רפואה שלמה ובריאות איתנה
חיים יפים מאושרים שנה אחרי שנה
יאיר בנו האור תאיר האמונה
תהיה לנו חכמת אמת ודעת ובינה
יבוא כבר משיחנו ובלי שום מלחמה
נאכל גם אבטיח יהיה לנו יום חג
(פזמון)
Translation:
Hashem is a good Father, & He always takes pride in me,
He sees only the good points within me,
He sees that I want to be good, it just doesn't always work out,
And all I'm missing is just a few prayers.
Hashem also saw the desire I had,
How I tried & didn’t give up,
He sees my shame, the bitterness I felt,
How I started over again & again.
Hashem, may He be blessed, always loves me,
And it will always be only good for me.
Hashem, may He be blessed, always loves me,
And it will always be only good for me.
And it will get even better,
And even better,
And even better,
And even better,
And even better,
And even better,
And it will always be only good for me.
He hears me, has mercy on me, & always answers me,
And if not yet, He continues to wait,
Fill me with this: that You always love me,
Give me new gifts every day,
Lead me with such mercy,
As is called mercy in this world,
Let everyone see that You do hear prayers,
And we will smile, be healthy & sing.
(Chorus)
I will have livelihood,
I will have wealth,
And singles will find their match.
There will also be complete healing & strong health,
Beautiful, happy lives, year after year,
The light will shine within us, the faith will be illuminated,
We will have true wisdom, knowledge & understanding,
Our Mashiach will already come, & without any war,
We will eat watermelon, & it will be a day of celebration.
(Chorus)
