While visiting the kever of the holy Sanzer Rav on his yahrtzeit, a close friend of mine called to share a powerful quote he found from the Rav’s son-in-law, the Hornsteipler Rav. Inspired by those sacred words, I immediately sat down to give them a tune.
“Hashem,” writes the Rav, “You want to reign over a flourishing and prosperous people, not the opposite. Shower us with goodness and livelihood, so that You may truly be a Melech Elyon, a King of the exalted, to us, and not a Melech Evyon, a king of the destitute.”
This powerful message reminds us that Hashem’s ultimate desire is to bentch us with abundance. May we all be zoche to His endless brachos!
Lyrics:
דער הייליגער דברי חיים האט אזוי געזאגט
מלך העולם, מלך העולם
ס׳פאסט נישט דו זאלסט זיין א מלך אביון
א מלך אביון פאר ארעמעלייט
בעסער זאלסטו זיין א מלך עליון
א מלך עליון פאר קינדער זייער רייך
