El shaddai, el shaddai, [El-Shaddai, means "God Almighty]
El-elyon na adonia, [El-Elyon na Adonai means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"]
Age to age you're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai, [Erkamka na Adonai means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]

Longing for light, we wait in darkness
Longing for truth, we turn to You.
Make us Your own, Your holy people
Light for the world to see.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in Your church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow'r to save us.
Make us your living voice.
Refrain
Longing for food, many are hungry
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us Your bread, broken for others
Shared until all are fed.
Refrain
Many the gift, many the people
Many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another
Making Your kingdom come.
Refrain
