This updated video is dedicated to Israel, a tiny nation struggling to survive; an island surrounded by enemies breathing out lies and threats of destruction. The Holy One of Israel is Creator of the Universe and our Redeemer. He keeps His Covenants, even when we are unfaithful. Time to repent, and come back to covenant faithfulness through the work of Mashiach (Messiah) Yeshua, Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and soon coming King. Pick up the Book. Read it: starting from Beresheet (Genesis).

THE BACKSTORY
Before you watch, let me first tell you a story regarding the song in this video. Songwriter/Singer Christene Jackman shared that many years after her father had died, her mom handed her an old, worn little bible. It turned out to be the gift her father had given her mother the day of Christene's birth.

Opening the tattered front page, she discovered scripture references scribbled by the hand of her late father outlining the Way of Salvation, as well as one specific psalm. That psalm listed was: Psalm 27, one that had always been among her favorites throughout her life. Jackman has now recorded this moving musical interpretation of Psalm 27 in keeping with the Psalm that was spoken over her life at birth by her father and her Heavenly Abba. "Coincidence" is not a kosher word :)

DISCOVER A DEEPER WORSHIP EXPERIENCE Looking for a way to go deeper during your worship time? Have you ever considered worshiping the Lord using the Psalms of Scripture? Enter a powerful level of worship singing and praying the actual Word of God in the original language: Biblical Hebrew. The fact that Hebrew as a language has been revived in these Last Days is a miracle in itself. Yes, God understands and accepts praise in English, of course, but that does not negate the fact that Hebrew is special. The original ancient scriptures were written almost exclusively in Hebrew.

FEATURES SUBTITLES
Don't know Hebrew? No problem, "ADONAI Ori (The LORD is My Light)", Psalm 27, has subtitles in Hebrew (for those who are learning Hebrew), transliterated Hebrew and English. Psalm 27 holds comfort and courage in the face of troubling times. The first portions of "ADONAI Ori", Psalm 27, are soothing, drawing the listener in. The final portion of the psalm breaks into statements of strong faith, with the feel of the song transitioning into a Latin-Middle Eastern fusion sound that will make you want to get up and dance like King David, proclaiming the Name and Mighty Acts of the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
