El Shadai

El Shadai • Amy Grant

“El Shaddai” is a contemporary Christian music song, written by Michael Card and John Thompson, using direct quotes from scripture as their inspiration, and recorded by Card on his 1981 debut album, Legacy. However, the best known version of the song was by singer Amy Grant, whose rendition was recorded in 1982 on her platinum-certified album Age to Age.

Track 7 on Age to Age (1982)

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
