Benjamin Dube - El Shaddai Adonai Lyrics

“El Shaddai Adonai” gathers several confessions about God into a song of grateful dependence. He is named Jehovah, refuge, shepherd, peace, source of joy, and giver of life. Each title describes a different aspect of faithful care, while the repeated acknowledgment of his goodness makes thanksgiving central. The refrain’s use of El Shaddai and Adonai emphasizes both God’s sufficiency and his lordship.

The song’s language closely follows familiar biblical images. Psalm 23 names the Lord as shepherd and associates his presence with provision and peace. Psalm 46 describes God as refuge and strength, and Philippians 4 connects the Lord’s nearness with a peace that guards the heart. The affirmation that God continually does good also agrees with the psalms’ repeated celebration of his goodness. Through concise repetition, the lyrics present worship as remembering God’s names, recognizing his care, and answering his enduring goodness with praise.
