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
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 Your might You set Your children free
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 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 through the frailty of Your son
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
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
I will praise You 'til I die
El Shaddai
