El Shaddai
Translation of Hebrew
El Shaddai = God Almighty
El Elyonna Adonai = God in the highest, Oh, Lord
Erkamkana Adonai = We will love You, Oh, Lord
(Chorus)
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyonna Adonai,
age to age you're still the same,
by the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamkana Adonai,
we will praise and lift you high,
El Shaddai.
(Verse 1)
Through your love and through the ram,
you saved the son of Abraham,
through the power of your hand
you turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees
you were the GOD who really sees,
and by your might you set your children free.
(Chorus)
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyonna Adonai,
age to age you're still the same,
by the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamkana Adonai,
we will praise and lift you high,
El Shaddai.
(Verse 2)
Through the years you made it clear
that the time of Christ was near,
though the people couldn't see
what Messiah ought to be.
Though your Word contained the plan,
they just could not understand,
your most awesome work was done
in the frailty of your Son.
(Chorus)
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyonna Adonai,
age to age you're still the same,
by the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamkana Adonai,
we will praise and lift you high,
El Shaddai.
