From the recording Stepakoff Sessions (Vol 1)
Michael (Stepakoff) had written a wonderful song about when Jacob wrestled with God and said "how awesome is this place" and built an altar. It reminded me of the times Yeshua appreared as "man" before His advent as an infant. He also walked up to Abraham at the Oak of Mamre with a couple angels flanking Himself. He flew into the sacrificial fires of Manoah after just declaring that Samson would be born. He showed Moses His back. And He appeared to his followers after the Resurrection. I guess the point of the song is that there are places in our lives where we have met with God. And in the Spirit of Holiness (Ruach HaKodesh) we can go boldly before the Throne even now, because of the price our Prince paid already. How awesome is ANY PLACE we meet with Yeshua.
Lyrics
Abraham was sitting in his tent by the Oak of Mamre when
Coming were three men
THey told him he would have a son
Though Sarai was too old for one
Then they brought the fire down
Jacob came up from Be’ersheva towards the land Padan-Aram
And when the sun had set
Escaping from his brother’s wrath
Esau on the war path
He had a dream and said
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
Blessed is the one who sees His face
In the House of God and at Heaven’s Gate
How awesome is this place
A man came to Manoah with a message for the woman
About a Nazarite who was to come
As flames came from the altar, He flew into the fire
His name is Wonderful
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
Blessed is the one who sees His face
In the House of God and at Heaven’s Gate
How awesome is this place
Where two or more are gathered in Your name together
There you are in the midst of us
Just like Jacob and the Fathers, the Prophets and Apostles
We will surely see the Face of God
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
How awesome is this place
“Ma Nora ha makom hazeh”
Blessed is the one who sees His face
In the House of God and at the Throne of Grace
How awesome is this place
How awesome is this place
Ma Nora ha makom hazeh
