El-Shaddai
Avalon's rendition of "El Shaddai" is a worship song that exalts God's power and faithfulness throughout history. The lyrics reflect on God's mighty acts, such as saving Abraham's son and parting the sea, and acknowledge His care for the outcast. The song also points to the coming of Christ, emphasizing that God's greatest work was accomplished through the frailty of His Son. With a reverent tone, it praises God as El Shaddai, the Almighty, and expresses devotion and gratitude for His enduring nature and redemptive plan.
[Chorus:]
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El-Elyon na Adonia
Age to Age you're still same
By the Power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamka Na Adonai
I will praise and lift you high
El Shaddai
Through your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
Through 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 might set your children free
[Chorus]
Through the years You've made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your son
I will praise and lift you high
El Shaddai
[Chorus]
