Lyrics:
Israel Israel
You have made your mind up
To fight for freedom
Yes freedom all the way
Israel Israel
you have fought for peace now
For many years, the whole world knows it’s true

Israel Israel
little hands have joined together
They say Shalom, Shalom must come to pass
Always keep your spirit up
For God has put you on the top
Your tears and sorrow, He will see it stopped

Israel Israel
Our life and inspiration
We want Shalom but we’ll fight ’till freedom comes
Lift up your heads and look into the skies now
God is there, He’ll guide every day

Israel Israel
A nation strong together
In song and prayer, united we will stand
We’re here to help you now
For we too have made this vow
to see your freedom
Israel freedom
Now

Proudly we will stand
For Israel is our land

Shalom Israel
Sha…lom
