upbeat song about the remnant of Israel
Story behind the song
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)a€” remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people (the jews) and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel (the jews), members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.
Lyrics
Am Echad (One People)
M Stepakoff & T Pearce
Yeshua is the Vine and Israel a sign for all to see
Every tribe and tongue is grafted by the Son into the olive tree
If casting them away, He received the world instead
Then what is their return but life from the dead?
Am Echad Adonai Echad, One people, One God!
Am Echad Adonai Echad, One people, One God!
One people, One God!
And in that day God will take away all their sins
They shall be saved and His servant David shall be their prince
In tears they have sowed but in joy shall they reap
He will lead them home as a shepherd leads his sheep
In the valley of dry bones, a holy wind is blowing making noise
The sound of a nation, a holy congregation with one voice
Singing a new song unto God
Shema Yisrael Adonai Echad
God is with us, in Him alone we trust for our peace
His love is forever and His mercy never will cease
He will set His resting place in our midst
Extending His love and grace to all who are His
