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

I keep coming back to that line about God making my cup overflow. It’s like that Psalm, the one about the table prepared in the presence of enemies. It feels real when life is smooth, but I wonder if I actually believe it when things get tight or heavy. Deborah Lukalu singing about His goodness in every circumstance—it’s a big claim. Is it really present when things are falling apart? I guess that’s the wrestling match. She calls Him El Shaddai, the God who is more than enough, the One who provides beyond what we even dare to ask for. It takes me back to when God showed up for the Israelites, literally parting the water so they could walk through the impossible. That’s not just a nice metaphor, but it’s hard to reconcile that kind of power with the days I feel stuck in my own head or my own mess. Does He really still make a way through the sea today, or am I just looking for an easier path? Sometimes I worry I’m just singing songs about a God of breakthroughs while I’m actually just waiting for the water to stop being so deep. It makes me stop and think about whether I trust Him for the provision or if I just like the feeling of having my cup full.
