El Shaddai
Eden's Bridge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El Shaddai, el Shaddai,
El-elyon na adonia,
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.

Overall Meaning

The song El Shaddai by Eden's Bridge is a beautiful religious hymn that speaks about God's omnipotence and compassion. The title itself, El Shaddai, is a Hebrew name for God that means 'God Almighty'. The song speaks about how God has remained the same throughout the ages and how His power is manifested through His name. The lyrics also speak about God's intervention and help throughout the ages, including how God saved Abraham's son through a ram and how He turned the sea into dry land.


The song also praises God's ability to see and help the outcast and His greatest 'awesome work' - the sacrifice of His own son. The lyrics remind us that God's plan was always in motion, and even though people couldn't see the messiah, it was all a part of the bigger plan. The song's message is very powerful, reminding us of God's mercy and love, and how He works in mysterious ways.
