Lyrics
Ton amour toi Dieu qui fais débordé ma coupe
Ça se voit dans tout ce que tu fais
Ta bonté dans toutes les circonstances, de ma vie , elle est toujours présente
El Shaddai c’est toi le Dieu qui donne
Et tu donnes plus que l’on espère
El Shaddai c’est toi qui fraies le chemin dans la mer
Par ta main puissante
El Shaddai...

Meaning & Inspiration
Deborah Lukalu’s “El Shaddai” centers on God as the all-sufficient provider, the One whose love overflows every measure. The opening lines picture a cup running over, not because of human effort, but because of who God is. That abundance is visible in everything God does, and His goodness remains present through every circumstance, not only in moments of relief.
The title itself carries weight. El Shaddai, often translated as God Almighty, is also tied to fruitfulness and nourishment. The lyrics draw that out by describing a God who gives beyond expectation and who opens a path through the sea. That image recalls the exodus, where God made a way where none existed. The song connects God’s power to His generosity, showing that His might is never detached from His care.
The repetition of the name becomes a quiet confession rather than just a declaration. It acknowledges that the same God who divided waters still provides, still gives, and still surpasses what anyone dares to hope for. The song leaves the listener with a simple, grounded trust in God’s faithful provision.
