This message is from Angela Dittmar whose song, "King of the Universe" is number $ on the Top Ten this week. This message is from Angela when I asked her what the words meant. (barack attah...) here is her reply. wow... you gotta check this out... amenFrom Angela Dittmar ...Hi JamesBaruch atta Adonai is Hebrew, from the Hebrew blessing said at Passover.That phrase means "Blessed are You oh Lord our God, King of the Universe"Here is the story of that song, feel free to share it.I was in church, it was just before Easter, and this article was written in the church papers ....(The Hebrew blessings recalls the setting of the Last Supper as a Passover meal.)Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the same night He was betrayed, took bread and gave thanks: Baruch attah Adonai Elohenu melech ha'olam, hamotzi lechem min ha'aretz. (Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who brings forth bread from the earth.) Then He broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take and eat: This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."In the same way also He took the cup after supper and gave thanks: Baruch attah Adonai Elohenu melech ha'olam, borey p'riy hagafen. (Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the Universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.) Then He gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you: this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."When I read this, the words jumped up at me ... and I knew... I was supposed to write down this song.......... I was just the pen.........so that's the story............and I don't speak Hebrew, but I did some research and asked some Jewish friends who do speak Hebrew, to be sure I pronounced it correctly.Thanks for asking, happy to share!
