Lechu Nerannena Leadonai (Let Us Sing To The Lord)

“Lechu Nerannena Leadonai (Let Us Sing To The Lord)” by The Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel is a vibrant and uplifting song that invites listeners to join in worship and praise of God. The lyrics, sung in Hebrew, are a call to come together and celebrate the greatness of the Lord. The repeated phrase “Lechu neranena ladonai” translates to “Let us sing to the Lord,” setting a tone of communal joy and reverence.

The song emphasizes the power and majesty of God, referring to Him as “El gadol Adonai,” meaning “the great God.” This acknowledgment of God’s greatness is further highlighted by the imagery of creation, such as “Beyado Mechkarey Aretz” (In His hand are the depths of the earth) and “Lo hayam vehu asahu” (The sea is His, for He made it). These lines remind the worshippers of God’s omnipotence and the wonders of His creation, encouraging a sense of awe and gratitude.

The act of worship is portrayed as both a personal and communal experience. The lyrics “Nekadma panav betoda” (Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving) and “Nishtachaveh venichre’a” (Let us bow down and worship) suggest a deep, heartfelt response to God’s greatness. The use of music and song, as indicated by “Bizmirot naria lo” (With songs, let us shout joyfully to Him), underscores the importance of expressing worship through joyful noise and melody. This song serves as a powerful reminder of the joy and unity found in collective worship and the profound reverence owed to the Creator.
