Our G-d, Thou art forbearing
Toward the evil and the good;
That is Thy praise.
For Thy sake, not for ours, grant our request.
See how we stand before Thee, humble and lacking in Virtue.
Liturgy
The text is from the hymn of the "Shomea T'filoh" prayer recited during Selichot. The melody brims over with penitence and joy of the spirit. The Rebbe introduced it on Simchat Torah of the year 5716 (1955).

where can i listen to jewish chabad music on the net? Thank You
This soulful melody is divided into three parts. The first, wordless, elevates the singers to a deeply spiritual mood. The second expresses yearning for the Divine, while the third is a declaration of faith in the help of our Father and King.
This melody is composed of two distinct, yet related, melodies. The soft, tranquil tones at the beginning express the unburdened way of life of the righteous. In contrast, the stormy, raging tones of the second melody express the deep feelings of remorse of the repentant one
1. Avinu Malkeinu 2. An'im Zemiros 3. Ki Anu Amecha Avinu Malkeinu, Our Father our King; An'im Zemiros, I sing songs and melodies I will weave; Ki Anu Amecha, We are Your people and You are our G-d.
