El Shaddai
Eden's Bridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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.

El Shaddai, el Shaddai,
We address you, Almighty God, with great reverence and awe
El-elyon na adonia,
God Most High, we acknowledge you as our Lord and Master
Age to age you're still the same,
From generation to generation, you remain unchanging and constant
By the power of the name.
Your name alone carries power and authority
Erkamka na adonai,
We beseech you, Lord, to have mercy on us
We will praise and lift you high,
We will honor you and exalt your name
To the outcast on her knees,
You extended your love and compassion to those who were rejected and alone
You were the God who really sees,
You saw and acknowledged the suffering of those who were overlooked by others
And by your might,
Through your strength and power
You set your children free.
You redeemed and delivered your people from bondage and captivity
Through the years you've made it clear,
Throughout history, you have consistently communicated your plans and intentions
That the time of Christ was near,
You foreshadowed the coming of the Messiah
Though the people couldn't see
Despite their lack of understanding
What messiah ought to be.
They did not comprehend the true nature and purpose of the Messiah
Though your word contained the plan,
Your divine plan was revealed through your holy scriptures
They just could not understand
But they were unable to comprehend it without your guidance and revelation
Your most awesome work was done
Your greatest, most powerful act of love and redemption
Through the frailty of your son.
Was accomplished through the human weakness and suffering of your Son, Jesus Christ
