Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Jerusalem" by Daniel Carmel are a prayer to the Lord to show the people of the city the truth about him. The song begins with the repetition of the name of the city, Yerushalayim, and the statement that it is waiting for God. The people are described as not being able to see the holiness of his presence in the city, and therefore they need to be shown. The lyrics ask the Lord to open their eyes and ears to perceive him, and to walk in his ways. The repetition of "Ki Atah kan, Adon" emphasizes the presence of the Lord in Jerusalem and the power that he has to guide the people.


The next stanza declares the Lord's titles. He is described as Yo'etz, which means advisor, El gibbor, meaning mighty God, Avi'ad, which means eternal Father, and Sar Shalom, which means prince of peace. The song continues by saying that the Lord is the Lord of all the earth, creation, and Israel. The chorus ends by saying that Jerusalem is waiting just for the Lord, emphasizing that the city needs him to be whole.

É muito bonito e maravilhoso ouvir Daniel Carmel ao vivo, e eu tive esse privilegio lá em Israel, seus hinos alegram a nossa alma, sentimos a presença de Deus. Fico feliz por ele ser um Judeu convertido. Oremos por ele e por Israel.
