Kharis Immanuel - Shammah - Elohim Adonai Shammah Lyrics

“Shammah” is a worship song about discovering God’s presence in loneliness. The opening confession moves from doubt to testimony: when no one else remained, God appeared as faithful and loving. From there, the lyric turns to titles of reverence—Elohim, Adonai, and Jehovah Shammah—and declares God’s reign, rule, and unmatched kingship. The Igbo phrase “Odighi onye dika ghi” strengthens that confession by affirming that no one compares with God.

The name Jehovah Shammah comes from Ezekiel’s vision of a restored city whose defining reality is that the Lord is there. In this song, that name is applied cautiously as a confession of divine nearness: “You’re there for me.” The repeated names do more than fill a refrain; they move the account of abandonment toward adoration. Personal relief becomes worship, while the choir-style chorus gives the testimony a shared voice centered on God’s presence and authority.
