A laudable task indeed!  I am at home, and all my books
are either at shul or already packed for our move to
Chattanooga, but here are some ideas to try:

look first in Manginot (UAHC), the Kol Beseder Songbook,
the Craig Taubman Songbooks (I & II), Shiron LaShalom
(available from Tara and maybe also SoundWrite), and
other composers who have published songbooks such as
Doug Cotler, Julie Silver, Joe Black, and of course the
many newer songbooks Debbie Friedman has published.

second choice:  since all of these artists and many of
these songbooks are distributed by SoundsWrite and Tara,
call Randee Friedman and Meyer Pasternak and ask them
directly if they recognize the text and/or melody.  Off
the top of my head, I don't, but I will be the first to
admit that the newer songs are not as familiar to me.

Good luck!  If you still don't have the answer by the
time of this year's CAJE Conference (too late for the
Shiron), ask again and we will put our heads together
in the Music Network to see if we can help.
