(Chorus)
G        Am          D       G       C
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,El Elyonna Adonai,
C       F                    B7           Em   D       E
age to age you're still the same, by the power of the name.
        Am          Em        G       C
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, erkamkana Adonai,
          F                  D            G   (ending- use E instead of G)
we will praise and lift you high, El Shaddai.


(Verse 1)
              Am                   D                 G          C   
Through your love and through the ram,you saved the son of Abraham,
              F            B7                   Em    D      E
through the power of your hand, you turned the sea into dry land.
           Am           D                  G              C
To the outcast on her knees, You were the God who really sees,
    F                  D                 G
and by your might you set your children free.

chorus
(Verse 2)
             Am                D              G                  C    
Through the years you made it clear that the time of Christ was near,
             F              B7          Em   D       E
though the people couldn't see what Messiah ought to be.
             Am                 D              G               C
Though your Word contained the plan,they just could not understand,
            F               D           F               D
your most awesome work was done in the frailty of your Son.
