Chords for Mordechai Ben David (MBD) English Medley at HASC #2 in 1989 - מרדכי בן דוד

_ _ _ Our ancestors found _ contentment in whatever their position in life.
The water carrier and the wood chopper, the shamus and the rag peddler, in reality, _ shared the same challenge as the merchant, the prophet, and the king.
The challenge?
To stand humbly before God, _ to utter a prayer of thanks, to find joy in the commandments, and ultimately, to pronounce their willingness to serve their creator with body and soul.
To stand before God and say, _ _ Hineni! _ _
