Reform Judaism’s leaders changed the Gevurot’s "mechayay hamaytim -- Who gives life to the dead" -- to "mechayay hakol -- Who gives life to all." By stepping off the shoulders of giants like Moshe Rabbenu (who wrote the book of Job), King David, Isaiah, Daniel, and the authors of the Amidah, who all affirmed a bodily resurrection, onto modernity’s moral lowlands, they became blind leaders of the blind.
See Job 19:25-27, Psalm 16:9-10, Isaiah 26:19-21, Daniel 12:2, Proverbs 29:18
Dear Rabbi, you made a wonderful performance and your voice is beautiful. Thank you for contributing the song. I love the G'vurot, despite not being full-Jewish. Listening to it makes me believe that we are loved by God. Again, many thanks.
Thank you for your most insightful and unnecessary comment.

It's very interesting comparing the tunes to these prayers from synagogue to synagogue :)
