Lyrics
Adonai, Adonai
You are worthy of all praise
My Lover, my King
All that I am cries out to You
אתה ראוי לכל שבח מלך שלי אהוב שלי
כל מה שבי קורא אליך
ata rauy lekol shevach melech sheli, ahuv sheli
kol ma shebi kore elecha
Pour it out, pour it out
We want the greater measure
Empty me, fill me up
Make me a vessel
Adonai x 4
Come like a wildfire
Burn up our idols
Come like a wildfire
Pour out revival
Come like a rushing water
Pour out revival

Meaning & Inspiration
Adonai is a prayer of adoration and surrender addressed to God as Lord, King, and beloved. The opening lines move between English, Hebrew, and transliterated Hebrew while preserving the same confession of worthiness and praise. That multilingual repetition gives the song a unified devotional focus. The request to be emptied, filled, and made into a vessel presents worship as the offering of the whole person rather than praise expressed only in words.
Later images of wildfire and rushing water frame a plea for cleansing, renewal, and revival. The lyric asks God to remove idols and bring a greater measure of his work, themes that align with biblical calls to reject false worship and yield to the Spirit. Its language remains prayerful and expectant, moving from personal surrender toward a broader desire for renewal. Across each section, the title Adonai keeps divine lordship at the center of the song.
