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 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
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
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 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 and lift You high
El Shaddai
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
Translation of Hebrew lyrics
El Shaddai, as previously mentioned, is most often translated as "God Almighty".
El-Elyon na Adonai is a common phrase meaning "God most high, O Lord".
Erkamka na Adonai is taken from Psalm 18:1 and is normally translated "I love you, O Lord" (Hebrew ארחמך).
