El Elyona Addoni
Age to age Your still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Ere Comcona Addoni
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
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyona Addoni
Age to age Your still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Ere Comcona Addoni
We will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai
Through the years You 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
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyona Addoni
Age to age Your still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Ere Comcona Addoni
I will praise you till i die
El Shaddai
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El Elyona Addoni
Age to age Your still the same
By the power of the name
El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Ere Comcona Addoni
I will praise you till i die
El Shaddai

The song highlights several biblical stories that demonstrate God's might and love. The reference to saving the son of Abraham through the sacrifice of a ram alludes to the story of Abraham attempting to sacrifice his son Isaac, but being stopped by God who provided a ram as a substitute. This showcases God's intervention and provision for His people.
The mention of turning the sea into dry land refers to the parting of the Red Sea, a miraculous event in which God rescued the Israelites from the pursuing Egyptian army. This demonstrates God's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of God's plan for salvation through Jesus Christ. The line "Though Your word contained the plan, they just could not understand" highlights the people's inability to fully comprehend God's ultimate purpose.
