The Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel The Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel

A Song of Divine Majesty and Eternal Hope

“Gadol Adonai (Great Is The Lord)” by The Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel is a powerful hymn that exalts the greatness and holiness of God. The song opens with the declaration, “gadol adonai umehulal m’od,” which translates to “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.” This sets the tone for a worshipful and reverent piece that acknowledges God's supreme authority and sanctity, particularly in the city of God and His holy mountain.

The lyrics then transition to a personal expression of devotion, where the singer approaches the altar of God with joy and gratitude. The phrase “avo el mizbach elohim, el el simchat gili” means “I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy.” This part of the song emphasizes the intimate relationship between the worshiper and the divine, highlighting the joy and fulfillment found in God's presence. The singer also reflects on the great deeds God has done for them, reinforcing the theme of gratitude and reverence.

The song further explores the concept of God's eternal dwelling among humanity. The line “hineh mishkan elohim im b’ney adam” translates to “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with men.” This evokes imagery of a future where God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more death, sorrow, or pain. The repeated “hallelujah” signifies a triumphant and joyous acknowledgment of God's reign. The song concludes with a call to rejoice and give glory to God, celebrating His eternal kingship and the hope of a future without suffering.

“Gadol Adonai (Great Is The Lord)” is a profound expression of worship, gratitude, and hope, deeply rooted in the Messianic Jewish tradition. It combines personal devotion with a communal vision of God's ultimate redemption and eternal presence among His people.
