Poetic text taken from Psalm 42
Original biblical song by Neta Abarbanel and Hope Dayan.

Filmed at the ancient Al-Kantra Bridge and the Twin Mills Bridge on the Charod Stream near Beit Shean, Israel.

"As a deer longs after streams of flowing water, so my soul longs after you, my God.
K-eyal taarog al afikei mayim, ken nafshi taarog elecha Elohim.
My soul is thirsty for you, oh Living God.
By day your love sustains. Your song is with me thru the night.
As a deer longs after streams of flowing water, so my soul longs after you, my God.
Tsama nafshi elecha, El Chai.
Tsama nafshi elecha, Adonai (Yehovah).
Matai, matai? Matai avo? Matai avo ve-ehreh?
Matai avo ve-ehreh penei Elohim?
Oh when, when will I come and see you face to face?
You are my Hope, my Rock, and my Salvation."
