El Shaddai
by Michael Card
Chorus:
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El-Elyon na Adonai
Age to age You're still the same
By the power of the name
El-Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai
Through Your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
And by the power of Your hand
Turned the sea into dry land
To the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by Your might
Set Your children free
(chorus)
Through the years You made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people failed to see
What Messiah ought to be
Though Your Word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your Son
(chorus)
