13 August 2010 - El Shaddai

Listening to this hymn sung by Amy Grant
Improve on the words I just can't
They were penned fifty years ago by Michael Card
He was clearly quite a bard
For God, El Shaddai is a Hebrew name
God Almighty, it means the same
The lyrics tell of a story great
The tune is also first rate

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.

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.
Though Your Word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your Son.
