Celebrating the Bonds of Faith: A Song for Israel

🎶 A Song for Israel – From the Shores of Galilee to the Heart of Zion 🇮🇱✝️

By Dr. Kobby Barda

As Christians celebrate Easter 2025 today, a powerful new country gospel anthem is capturing hearts across Christian Zionist communities worldwide. Titled “We Bless You, O Israel,” this moving ballad is more than just a song — it is a heartfelt gift from the people of Israel to their Christian brothers and sisters who walk in faith and love for the Holy Land.

Filmed beside the peaceful Sea of Galilee, the song transports listeners to the very places where Jesus walked, King David reigned, and the prophets once spoke. With lyrics steeped in biblical imagery and promises, it celebrates the deep spiritual connection between Jews and Christians, united in covenant and purpose.

“As Ruth once said to Naomi, your God we now proclaim…”
“For those who bless your people, He stands by their side.”

With a joyful, reverent melody, the song invites worshippers to remember that the story of Israel is the story of faith itself — a story that continues to unfold. From Bethlehem to Megiddo, and from the house of David to the rolling hills of Galilee, the song is a prayer for peace, a proclamation of solidarity, and a call to bless what God has chosen.

The project was conceived as a gesture of friendship and gratitude, recognizing the unwavering support of millions of Evangelicals who pray daily for the peace of Jerusalem. In a time when faith is often tested by division, “We Bless You, O Israel” is a reminder that love, rooted in Scripture, knows no borders.

“We bless the house of David, the prophets and the land,
We bless the ancient promise, still guided by His hand.”

As the crosses rise gently through Galilean pines and the Star of David waves on the hills, this Easter song affirms a powerful truth:

✡️ + ✝️ = One shared hope.

Already resonating across churches, prayer networks, and social media, the song is being hailed as a “musical covenant,” echoing the promise first given to Abraham:

“Through you, all nations shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3)

1. The Heart of the Message

“A Song for Israel” weaves together Old Testament promises and New Testament fulfillment. By invoking patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the psalmist-king David, it reminds listeners that God’s covenant with Israel is everlasting—and that Christians share in its spiritual legacy.

2. Walking Where Jesus Walked

“We walk where Jesus walked and David claimed his throne.”
This lyric invites believers to envision their faith journey on the very soil of Galilee and Zion. Pilgrimages, Bible studies, and personal reflection all deepen our connection to the footsteps of Christ and the heroes of faith.

2.1 The Significance of Jerusalem

Jerusalem is more than a historical city—it’s “God’s dwelling place” on earth. By blessing Israel and honoring Jerusalem, Christians participate in a biblical mandate that affirms God’s heart for His people and His land.

3. Unity Among Believers

In an era of division, the song proclaims:

“Jew and Gentile walk as one in covenant with the land.”
This powerful line underscores:

• Inclusivity: Faith transcends ethnicity.
• Covenant Identity: Both Jewish and Gentile believers inherit God’s promises.
• Mutual Support: Standing together strengthens the body of Christ.

4. A Prayer for Peace

Peace in Zion is a central refrain:

“We pray for peace in Zion.”
As conflicts persist, this prayer becomes both urgent and prophetic. By lifting Israel before the throne, believers align with God’s desire for shalom—wholeness and reconciliation.

4.1 The Reward of Blessing

“For those who bless your people, He stands by their side.”
Scripture teaches that blessing Israel unlocks divine favor. Engaging in intercession, charitable giving, and advocacy invites God’s watchful care and blessing upon both the land and those who intercede.

5. Looking to the Future

The final lines ring with promise and warning:

“For those who curse your people… for those who stand beside you His promises will keep.”
This dual message calls believers to vigilance against hostility and to steadfastness in solidarity, confident that God’s covenant will endure.
