Shema (Hear! O Israel)

Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one
Love the Lord your God with all your strength and might
With all your heart and soul my people come
Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one

Teach my laws for life
Impress them upon your children
Like foundations to your home
And walk with the words of life all around you
Let them be a cornerstone

Tie these words as symbols on your hands
that they may offer goodness
Tie them on your foreheads
That your eyes may see
Write them on the doorframes of your homes
and on the gates of the city
That in everything you shall remember me

Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one
Hear! O Israel
The Lord our God, the Lord is one

Based on the Shema, Deuteronomy 6: 4-9

This song is taken from the CD project and recording 'City Of Peace' by Adrian Snell. For more information:

I love this song, have seen it on another video somewhere - thank you for uploading this - didn't see it when it was on TV.

Did you mean to spell it as 'Here' or was 'Hear' meant by the way (in the title) - I can see reasons for either, although, the Shema is 'Hear.'

I had the great pleasure to hear this song at a concert in Basel/Switzerland as a station of his tour of City of Peace throug Germany in November 1996. It touched me very deeply and I had the great wish, to be part of his choir once in future. Two years later I had the possibility to join his choir on his Switzerland Tour. It was very impressionating and I enjoyed the time with these great musiciens Adrian and Dave. To feel their great passion for God and their music, was just wunderful....
