Lyrics
WE KEEP THE FLAME Lyrics Look to the Temple (4x) Judah Maccabee my true one Mattityahu's chosen son Antiochus desecrates our Temple Help us sanctify this place for God Israel, oppressed by savage forces Our voice cries out that God is one Maccabees will fight to save the Temple The valiant battle has begun (Chorus) We are the few and you are the many We are the guardians, we keep the flame You use your power to crush the people We will free them in God's name Up on the mountain I see the Temple Judah rekindled the eternal flame Only enough oil to last for one day Yet it still burns the same Eight days it burned and eight days we needed To press the special oil for the flame Come let us dance and sing to the Lord Adonai we bless your name Chorus la la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la We keep the flame, la la la la, la la la la la la, Adonai we bless your name Light the menorahs, light up the night sky All of the moonlight, all of the starlight This you have given, this we receive with Love in our hearts, Adonai One light that shines always in the Temple One light that signifies God is here One light reveals a vision of faith that God's love will be ever near Chorus (2x)
