In honor of Israel’s Jubilee 50th anniversary, Galilee of the Nations Music first brought forth the acclaimed compilation Worship from Israel CD, “Adonai”. In the continuation of excellence before the Lord, Galilee of the Nations has just released “SON OF DAVID”, in celebration of Israel’s 60th anniversary. This is a wonderful compilation of songs, capturing the worship of those who love the Lord. This uplifting collection is a portal to the hearts of some of the most anointed Messianic song writers and musicians from the land of Israel.

The first track proclaims Hear o Israel, and sets the tone for this great collection of musical offerings before the Lord. SehHa Elohim (Lamb of God), with beautiful vocals from Luanne Sayag, is one to pay particular attention to. Keren and David Seguin pour their heart out in Kadosh Ata (You are Holy). This song is a fine example of outstanding worship. Carolyn Hyde offers up an emotion filled Od ve Od, (More & More). Carol’s love for the Lord is very evident with each and every note that she sings.

Brightly proclaiming to not be ashamed, Chuck King lends his wonderful vocal abilities to the uplifting song by Tony Sparendeo, Eineni Bosh. This song is wonderfully arranged and is sure to become a favorite of many. Becca Weiler’s Halo Yadata (Have You Not Known) is an oasis of encouragement, making use of Isaiah 40:31. What an anointed song!

Judah and Jennifer Morrison pour out their heart and soul in the majestic Aizu Meen Ahava ( What Kind of Love is This?). I can see many coming before the Lord and worshipping to this song. Ana Adonai ( I Beseech You O Lord) features Vesna Buehler’s, rich vocal abilities. Her pleasing voice lends a perfect cover for this great melodic song.

Title song, Son of David, written by Jordan Elias & Executive Producer, Yochanan Ben Yehuda, will make you want to close your eyes and worship Yeshua, Ben David! Chuck King’s vibrant vocal style makes this one of the most beautiful worship songs to come along in years. Chiam Warshawsky lends his great cantoral style to the traditional Mimkomkha (From Your Dwelling Place).

Listen to the last track, Yeshua, Melech HaKavod (Yeshua, King of Glory). This folk-style musical offering is very refreshing. It is a style that we all have not heard for many years. Arni & Yonit Klein and Michael Harish left me wanting to hear more.

In summation, SON OF DAVID is a must for your CD collection. There is little more wonderful than hearing the offerings of believer’s praise and worship to the Lord, and this CD is filled with the best. Two Shofars Up!

This wonderful, thriving congregation over the years, has hosted the best in Messianic musical artists.
