Lyrics:
If it be your will*
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
Oh bide us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

I heard him first when I was only 16. He changed my life. I will be 70 soon, and still love his words, his music and his heart.

[@petermaarschalkerwee]

I was 16 an mow 66. His music and voice still moves me.

[@shirelsymar2801]

Exactly my life, 70y now and I see Len more than 20 x.

Me too, I'm 70🎉 but he touches so many younger people too! I always loved how he introduced everyone in the show! R.I.P. Leonard I still can listen for hours ❤

That only proves the Greatness of Leonard's lyrics and music Janice.... same for me....❤🙏

[@erikastockinger2547]

It' similar with me, I was 16 when I saw him 1st time in concert. Now I'm 57 and he accompanied me through my live. No other songwriter is so close to my heart, I love his vice, his poem.

The Webb Sisters - the voices of angels.

The Webb sisters have the voices of Angels. I love the sound of the Irish harp. And Leonard Cohen too. Musical perfection.

My sister loved Cohen, and she loved to dance to his songs..11 years ago she lost her battle to leucemia. She would be 60 today..😢

[@sooz9433]

My heart aches for all those who never discovered Leonard Cohen either on purpose or accidentally. My heart aches to know that years from now someone will hear this song in its entirety and ask who was Leonard Cohen... how can you explain the raw honesty and complexity that was Leonard Cohen??? Another shooting star to split the sky in my lifetime and leave too soon.. I love you... Leonard Cohen .. thank you

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

So beautiful your words!

[@charliemorris2338]

David Cohen, stage name David Blue(no relation)wrote a song dedicated to Leonard,"The Troubador Song" .Thankfully,I have found this beautiful song whilst still on the earth plane.

[@sandracarrigan8783]

My feeling is that if someone doesn’t get Leonard they are missing something in their soul.

[@n0cloo]

A broken man, with a broken heart speaking from his broken heart, in a broken voice. Haunting and sublime. I was lucky enough to attend a live concert, graced with his presence. One of the most memorable experience of my life. Thank you for giving us all those beautiful songs. RIP Mr. Cohen, hope that one day I"ll join you and be in your presence again !

[@madelinehall8944]

I saw them in Chicago during his last tour. It was gracious.

[@iseebee1494]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jamesdolan4042]

In my opinion Leonard Cohen was very far from from "a broken man, with a broken heart speaking from his broken heart in his broken voice". In this clip he was just an older man quoting the introductory words of his song Let it be your Will that he regards as a prayer, prior to handing over to the Webb sisters to sing. Leonard Cohen since his emergence in the 1960s has always been a comptemplative, reflective singer and an excellent lyricist songwriter.

[@hill266]

I first met Leonard Cohen when I was 16...Now, I'm 60...I still love his songs.

Keeps dropping my comments. I shall speak no more. Sir Leonard sings it all. He was The Poet of our generation. So grateful our current youth hear Him.

[@gerardjacques19]

3 great poets and singers I missed live : Freddie Mercury for the party, Pavarotti for the beauty and you Leonard Cohen for the truth, but you’ll always be close to my heart, deep inside it, flowing with this erratic wounded blood ❤

[@JeremiahKlarman]

John Denver for all of them.

[@myramorosco5423]

I missed Leonard or maybe I wasn’t ready to receive. I fell into his music through Hallelujah which I listen to every artist that sang the song when I heard the writer of that song died . I decided to goggle this man. Iwas amazed and continue to be enthralled by his authenticity, his unique voice and his magical lyrics. I am in my mid -70’s And will enjoy swimming in his voice and lyrics. What a gift he is.

[@shawomet1]

I owned his first album. Then lost track, only to rediscover him thru the Live in London concert decades later. Had no idea I had missed all that, in my mid 70’s and grateful I didn’t lose track forever.

[@hereignsonhigh4247]

Better late than never I guess you’ve got a lot of catching up to do

[@ABrouse]

If It Be Your Will [Leonard Cohen] If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will If it be your will That a voice be true From this broken hill I will sing to you From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing If it be your will If there is a choice Let the rivers fill Let the hills rejoice Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell If it be your will To make us well And draw us near And bind us tight All your children here In their rags of light In our rags of light All dressed to kill And end this night If it be your will If it be your will.

[@jpweb5632]

I came back to this song after listening to one of Leonard Cohen's last interviews in which he said that he never considered himself a religious man or really had any spiritual strategy. Ironic then that so many of his songs, especially this one, are bridges between the mundane and the divine.

[@moayadification]

Well said

[@victorhyman268]

When you use the word mundane I get a sense of the scale of your observation

[@gaylereichert7510]

of this earthly world rather than a heavenly or spiritual one. "the boundaries of the mundane world"

Saw him in concert twice in 2009. Was fortunate to hear this song in person. I still miss him and cry for him......he can break your heart beautifully.

'The sublime Webb sisters.' Leonard Cohen, from introduction of band members during this concert. And indeed, they are sublime.

I come here after watching From S01E03. To listen to this wonderful voices and try to understand the lyrics.

[@aaroncooper5098]

Leonard Cohen himself said it was a Prayer. I would hazard to argue, inspired by the Poetic Psalms of David the Shepherd, Warrior King of Israel.

I cycled to Vienna from deep in Eastern Europe in the Summer of 2015 to escape the calamity of a cherished long-term relationship in its death throes. We arrived filthy and haggard. I so desperately wanted to bump into Leonard at a fountain, a square, a concert hall. I saw his face everywhere. I wanted to look him in the eye and thank him for the beautiful words he bestowed to us all throughout his career. A nice dream. Alas, all I found was a lobby with nine hundred windows and a tree where the doves go to die.

Leonard Cohen. There's nothing I can say to elevate him more; he's top. Webb Sisters, brilliant (performing near me soon, so I'll be there).

[@sorryfortheinconvenience]

Fortunate to attend the concert of LC in the Wang Center in Boston in '09. Actually, it was much much more than a concert. It felt like a beautiful religious ceremony. To say it was remarkable would be an incredibly weak attempt. I absolutely loved the night and LC and the Webb sisters along with everyone on the stage that night provide rich tones and color to the already profound words of an absolute master of pen to paper. I knew that I was fortunate to attend such a magical night. Every time I hear Leonard Cohen I am reminded of the fact. RIP Mr. Cohen. I hope that I am good enough good graces that I will be able to confide to you how much you mean to me. If I get in, I will look for you.

If it be your will, if there is a choice, let the rivers fill, let the hills rejoice, let your mercy spill on all these burning hearts in hell, if it be your will, to make us well. What a mind blowing performance. Gets me to tears every time. That's a real prayer, possibly the only one I've ever heard, it makes me yearn for a loving creator ready to touch all the burning hearts and make them well. I like to think when Cohen ever touched a heart it was made well at least in that moment. Life is given meaning by being transient, but maybe some moments can last forever.
