Masthead is live-action silhouette of Cohen conducting, set against score he engraved for piece he composed for 2 soloists, full SATB choir, and folk-rock band.

“Conducting my own music is the greatest pleasure I know.
There is no feeling like it, and I would not exchange that satisfaction
for the world.” – Aaron Copland (said to Bruce Cohen in interview)

 Bruce Louis Cohen primarily conducts his own compositions: however, he has conducted works by others, and welcomes requests for him to consider such engagements also. Examples of his work are below.

Reviews – Music

June 19, 2014 by admin

albumsrow

“Cohen’s songs have been an essential part of the make-up of the genre we now term, ‘Messianic.’ If you have been in Messianic Judaism for any length of time, you know these songs. These are some of the ‘standards’ that come to mind whenever you think of ‘Messianic praise and worship.’” – Music Review 2007, MTimes USA

“Bruce Cohen weighs in as exec producer, songwriter, arranger, and keyboard man, and he certainly earns his keep. The ‘Holy’ album is set to a pounding pop/rock beat that really hits home. “Your Gentleness” is another potential classic! Includes three new wedding songs featuring classy guest vocalists. Wonderful music.” – CrossRhythms Review 1993 (UK)

“Bruce Cohen is an accomplished and popular songwriter … on the front lines nationally and internationally since the 1970’s.” – Joel Chernoff of Lamb, President, Messianic Music Inc.

“The Holy album confirms Bruce Cohen among the leaders in composing poignant worship music.” – Music Review 1993, MTimes USA

“Some of the best in modern-day Messianic Music … rivers of musical excellence flow …” – MessianicMusic.Com

“Hallelu and Fall Upon Us Now are everything our kind of songs should be. I have always wanted to record those tunes.”– Paul Wilbur, Integrity Music

“I love these songs! This was was Kol Simcha’s ‘golden era!” – Kathy Shooster, former Kol Simcha vocalist/pianist & Indie solo singer/songwriter

“When Bruce Cohen plays the piano, the spirit of God shows up.” – Haim Levi, President, International Fellowship Of Messianic Jews

“Why do I want Bruce Cohen on the piano during my worship service? Because I want the Spirit of God in the room!” – Sid Roth, host of Messianic Vision & It’s Supernatural TV Shows

“This guy is a literal genius.” – Rick Coghill of Lamb, Gold-Record™ winning guitarist & Producer with Messianic Music Inc.

DISC 1

Kol Simcha Years 1978-1992

 

LEV TAHOR (A PURE HEART)

Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen

Based upon the Fifty-first Psalm

 

Hear my cry, give heed to my prayer,

Oh Lord in heaven, for I call upon Your Name.

And when I’m dry, come fill me with

The waters of Yeshua, for I only trust in Your Name.

 

Lev tahor b’rah lee

(Create a pure heart for me)

Ruakh na-khon khadaysh b’keer-bee.

(Renew a right spirit within me)

 

Create O Lord, a heart for Thee;

Renew O God, Your Spirit in me!

 

Al tash-lee-khayni* meel-fanekha

Ruakh nakhon kha-daysh b’keer-bee

(Renew a right spirit within me)

 

Draw near, O God!

I only rejoice in Your nearness.

Renew O God, Your Spirit in me!

 

[* On the album, the singer mispronounced ” ahl tash-lee-khayni” as “ahl teesh-la-khayni.”

The former phrase in King David’s Hebrew words means, “do not throw me away.”

The singer’s incorrect pronunciation on the record means, “do not send me.” – BLC]

HALLELU

Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen

Inspired by Joel 2 and Zechariah 10

 

Hallelu, Oh halle-hallelu, hallelujah!

Hallelu, Oh halle-hallelu, hallelujah!

 

Give us rain, Oh Lord, send Your rain!

Let Your Spirit wash our hearts with power, with Your power!

Make us new, make us vessels, Lord, for You!

Let the name of God be our strong tower!

 

Make us strong, make our words a joyous song!

Let the chains fall from Our hearts in praise, in Your praise!

And through Your son, and the Victory that He won,

Make us, Lord, to walk in your ways!

 

Lift Him up! Oh, lift Yeshua up!

Let the eyes of Yisrael behold Your Son!

Messiah, King and the Lord of everything!

Let Jacob call on the Holy One!

 

IN THE END OF DAYS

Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen

Synthesizer solo by Larry Cohen.

 

In the end of days, Yisrael will behold my (whisper) power!

In the end of days it shall be, Israel my glory shall see,

And all the world will tremble because of the good I do for

You when I bring you back to the land that I promised to Abraham,

And all of your shame, I have turned into glory and renown!

 

CHORUS

So if the vision tarries, wait upon it!

Though it tarry, surely it will come,

Bringing peace and power to our nation;

Lifting up the name of God, the Son!

 

In the end of days it shall be,

Ten from the nations will cling to thee,

Your young men will see visions,

Your old men will dream dreams of Me, and

I will answer when you call out,

And your prayers like a mighty shout will

Open the gates of heaven to all who call upon My Name!

 

[Repeat Chorus]

 

Yi, bi, bi, bi … (“nigun” – wordless melody)

Oh, Israel, hope in the Lord from this time forth,

And forever-more, forever-more: hope in the Lord!

(Revive us according to Your justice!)

Chaiyaynu k’chass-de-chah!

(Revive us according to Your mercy!)

ELI, ELI

Words and music: ©1988 Bruce L. Cohen

Based on Psalm 42, Jeremiah 13, Psalm 30

 

Like a deer thirsts for the water brooks, my soul thirsts for You.

Like a dry land longs for the touch of the rain,

Like the grass yearns for the dew.

 

Like a belt clings to the waist of a man, my soul clings to You.

Like a nursing child in his mother’s arms,

L–rd, I trust in only You.

 

Eli, Eli, ahnee ma’ameen b’chah!

(My G–d, my G–d I believe in You!)

Ahnee ma’ameen

(I believe)

B’chah Adonai, oovee-shuah-teychah!

(In You Oh, G–d, and in Your salvation!)

 

Like a son looks to his father’s ways, my heart seeks for You!

Take me by the hand, lead me into Your land,

You who made my heart anew!

 

Like a pillar of fire, like column of cloud, Your Spirit leads me through!

In a still small voice, guiding every choice, L–rd, I lean on only You!

 

L–rd, Your ways are holy and true; Your praise, I’ll sing unto You;

For You have brought my life out of the grave!

Yeshua, Your blood has freed me from sin!

Your life You gave, my freedom to win; my G–d, Messiah, Adonai!

 

Like a deer thirsts for the water brooks,

My soul thirsts for You!

Like a dry land longs for the touch of the rain,

Like the grass yearns for the dew!

 

Like a pillar of fire, like column of cloud,

Your Spirit leads me through!

Take me by the hand, lead me into Your land,

You who made my heart anew!

 

FALL UPON US NOW

Words and music: ©1984 Bruce L. Cohen

Inspired by Deuteronomy 30, Joel 3, Zechariah 10

 

We, and our fathers have sinned against Your Name.

Forgotten to honor the Source of Israel’s fame.

But L–rd, where we’ve been scattered

You’ve reached us with Your love;

Now pour out upon us Your rain from above!

 

Fall upon us now! Oh G–d fall upon us now!

We’re back in the land, the time is at hand

To pour out Your Spirit in power!

Fall upon us now! O G–d fall upon us now!

We’re back in the land, the time is at hand

To pour out Yourself in power!

 

L–rd if you renew us (me), renewed we (I) shall be.

And L–rd if you revive us (me), revival we (I) shall see!

And L–rd if you indwell us (me), Your power shall be shown.

Messiah shall be lifted up, Yeshua shall be known!

 

Fall upon us now, reign upon us now,

Oh G–d, fall upon us, now!

 

ALL OF US (ISAIAH 53)

Mee he-eh-meen leesh-mua-taynu?

(Who has believed our news?)

U’Zroah HaShem al-mee neeglah-tah?

Hu m’cho-lahll mee’p’sha-aynu.

(He was wounded for our transgressions)

Musar shlomaynu alahv.

(The punishment of our peace was upon him.)

 

Who has believed the words that we have spoken?

To whom has The Arm Of The L–rd been revealed?

For us He was pierced, for us His body broken,

And a river of healing flows from Him.

 

Hear O Israel! The L–rd HaShem is One!

Listen, all our scattered People. Hear, turn to the Son.

 

Who in His day understood His purpose,

And who had considered what G–d had ordained?

For us Messiah dies, for us He brings atonement!

The Lamb of God, our Pesach is slain.

 

All of us like sheep, we each have turned to our own way,

But the L–rd laid on Him the sin of us all.

[end only] Forgiveness for us all.

 

YOU ARE MY REST

Words and music: ©1987 Bruce L. Cohen

Inspired by Psalm 71, 2Samuel etc.

 

You have made Your love to me a fortress and a tower:

You have made Your word to me my strength in every hour.

You have made Your hope in me a strong and certain anchor:

You have made Yourself in me security and power!

 

You are my rest, oh Lord. (3x)

Your joy is my strength!

 

You have been a shield to me when arrows flew around me:

You have been a sword for me when enemies surrounded me.

You have been a friend to me when loneliness enfolds me:

You have been a guide for me the One whose right hand holds me.

 

Be to me a rock for a dwelling:

A place where I continually live.

Let my life always be telling,

Your scattered ones the victory you can give:

The victory in Your Son that we can live.

 

 

THANK YOU, LORD

Words and music: ©1989 Bruce L. Cohen

Inspired by Zephaniah 3:9, Romans 10:13, 1Corinthians 15:26

 

You, Lord, are the light that we seek.

You, Lord, give your strength to the weak.

So we call, Lord, upon Your Name,

For all those who call will be saved!

 

You, Lord, are the Maker of all, and

You, Lord, lift us up if we fall; and

You’ve called us to believe in Your Son,

For all who believe will be saved!

:

Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son!

Thank You, Lord, for the victory won!

Thank You, Lord, for salvation You give!

Thank You, oh God, in Yeshua … we live!

 

You, Lord brought forgiveness for all, and

You, Lord, have issued the call

To return to the faith in Your Son,

For all who return will be saved!

 

You, Lord, have healed all our disease, and

Your Son has brought death to His knees,

For the power of death is destroyed!

Yeshua redeemed us to life hope and joy!

 

 

REVIVAL HAS COME

Words and music: ©1988 Bruce L. Cohen

Inspired by Ezekiel 36:36

 

Even from our sins Lord, You have brought us back!

Taught us of Your ways, and caused us to repent, and

Given us Your Son to cleanse our souls!

Healed all our diseases and caused us to be whole!

 

In our generation we have seen our Land

Born in blood and fire, You made Israel stand!

Many kings and prophets longed to see,

The things that You have shown us

And those we’ve yet to see!

 

CHORUS [Overlap entry of next lines marked by “^”]:

Hallelujah, revival has ^come!

Hallelujah, Messiah has ^come!

Hallelujah, revival has ^come!

(Unison) Yeshua has come!

 

Lord, You are the potter we are only clay,

Cause us to be soft, when You touch us to obey!

Oh make of us the vessels You desire!

Fill us with compassion, and Holy Spirit fire!

 

Hallelujah atonement has ^come!

Hallelujah, forgiveness has ^come!

Hallelujah, salvation has ^come!

Sweeter than the honey in the comb;

In keeping them, Your servant has found a great reward,

Every sickness must be broken, every captive be set free!

Let Israel’s Messiah be lifted up on high.

But they shall arise, they shall arise,

Arise in the name of God’s Anointed!

You are my God, the G–d of my youth

Caused our hearts to turn to You again:

Washed away our sin, made our spirits live,

To lighten my burdens and share in my heart;

More than a voice to speak with its wisdom,

To help me to daylight when I may be dark;

 

CHORUS

You are the one I’ve awaited. You are the one I need.

Under my wings, take shelter, “Etzem m’atzami, m’atzami.”

(“self of my self” – Gen. 2:23)

 

More than a touch, and more than comfort

When I may be lonely or needing you near;

More than a joy or loving companion,

And more than your graces that I hold so dear.

 

CODA

You, you, only you were made for my heart, and

You, you only you – right from the start; already part of you!

Only you!

 

You are the Lord, our Creator, You are the G–d we need.

Under Your wings, we take shelter, God in your salvation (yeshuah)

We believe. We believe. Oh, we believe!

Inspired by Ezekiel 37 and Romans 11:26

– Sax solo on album by Jay Davidson –

 

Lord, it is time! L–rd, it is time to raise Your People up out of their graves!

Lord, it is time! L–rd, it is time for all of Israel to be saved!

 

Everywhere we’ve been scattered, scattered for thousands of years;

Every place we’ve been shattered and cried out to you with our tears

You have heard us and answered us. You have kept us and carried us.

God, you have brought us again into our own Land!

 

Every sin we’ve committed, Messiah has washed it away!

By His death He redeemed us, Yeshua arose from the dead!

Now Your Spirit has been poured out, and our hearts with a joyous shout

Pray for all our people to be saved!

Example Of Hand-Written Score

HalleluScoreSample

Example of Engraved Score

  I have always loved the graphic artistic value of the printed musical manuscript. I remember being very moved in my youth – and throughout my life – by seeing original and facsimile framed pages of hand-written scores by Beethoven, Bach, Gershwin, and others hanging or displayed in glass in the offices and homes of music aficionados, museums, and libraries from Los Angeles to Jerusalem, and Moscow to Cape Town. My signed scores I received personally from Aaron Copeland and George Crumb, I treasure as much for the art of the written work as much as the music their scores preserve. – Bruce Louis Cohen

Bruce Louis Cohen’s lyrics, musical compositions and arrangements have been reviewed as “an essential part of the make up of the genre we now call, ‘Messianic.’ They are standards that come to mind whenever you think about Messianic Jewish worship music.” (MTimes Review, Fall 2007) Being seen as among the ubiquitous creative pioneers of an entire musical genre is a serendipitous mixture of timing, geography, and good luck for which he, as a musician, is very grateful.

At an international conference in the late 1980’s, a Canadian rabbi introducing Cohen to teach a seminar on worship songwriting said, “I think we all agree that Bruce Cohen’s music captures the spirit of the modern Messianic Jewish revival.”

We offer here in limited amounts and varying formats the manuscripts of Cohen’s songs and arrangements – either for framing, for libraries, or as file-away collectibles. It is his hope the “captured spirit” of the modern Messianic Jewish movement in Cohen’s musical scores might be inspirational art for the lobby, office, or home of those who cherish the value of such inspiration – and transmit legacy value for Messianic Judaism as a movement with endemic art forms.

All prints Suitable for Framing – Printed on Music Paper or Staff-Imprinted Parchment, real tone or sepia, hand-written or engraved and signed.
