Amy's beautiful voice touches my soul. She has dealt with Alzheimer's with her father. I am dealing with Alzheimer's now with my wife. This beautiful song brings peace to my mind. Thank you Amy! Your talents touch me in many ways!
I remember hearing El Shaddai when I was a new Christian in 1980 and it holds a special place in my heart. Then to hear Thy word is a lamp unto my path was a promise God gave me in 1984. This melody of song brought back so many memories and led me to tears. We are now in 2023 and I’m 64 years old and I hope I can sing these songs in heaven. Blessings to Amy Grant and Michael W Smith.

Im 44 years old. A friend gave me a cassette copy of Amy’s Christian hits when I was about 15. I LOVED it and still always sing these two songs in my head, so I decided to look them up. Amazing performance!!
I was with friends in Southern Lebanon spending the night at The Voice of Hope radio station on New Years eve when I heard this. 1982 /83. Never stopped learning and being amazed at all our Adonai Tzva'ot is just by Being Himself.❤ I don't have to imagine. Once you have seen His Majesty , there is no way to un-see Him !❤ Hallelu Yah ❤
+Gern Blanston Sir, I will second you on that!!! I have also work Security for her at a Concert in the Finger Lakes region, She was one of the most decent performers that I've ever worked for. She was incredibly polite and treats her people well....She's a lovely person. She's got a good down to earth relationship with her people.(witnessed that first hand...treats them as equals...NO Diva here.) She's A BEAUTIFUL PERSON!!!! Love that women and she's one respectable girl!!!! Love her!! God Bless her because she's Genuine!!!
@@VIKING33NY ...from what I've read she's been a "really decent" person to men who are not her husband! Hey we all make mistakes but true humility is standing up and being counted when it isn't always popular.
El Shaddai is one of the most beautiful songs ever!!! It embraces Jesus Jewish heritage and adds the completion of the covenant that God gave to Abraham when he promised Messiah would come to His people. The Jews are so blessed by God. If you are a Christian, your daily prayers should include all the Jews in the world.
Helen Baskin Actually, God chose them, not because they were anymore righteous or deserving, but by His good nature. The “Jews” rejected Christ, & till this day, they still do. God’s promise is to the “seed” of Abraham (spiritual house), not the physical house of Israel. There is no longer Jew or gentile, but both are made one at the cross. Yes, God’s covenant promises to redeem “the remnant Israel “ still must come. But make no mistake, many, many Jews in name only will perish, when the Antichrist comes on the scene. It is by faith that you are saved, through God’s grace!
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai [means "God Almighty, God Almighty"] El-Elyon na Adonai [means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"] Age to age, You're still the same By the power of the name. El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai Erkamka na Adonai [means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"] We will praise and lift You high El-Shaddai
SEAMUS MC CARTHY You are welcome. The phrases in Hebrew sound so beautiful. Also, all I did was Google "El-Shaddai by Amy Grant meaning of lyrics." Then copied and pasted them here. I've always loved this song and I found the meaning of the Hebrew words years ago, but couldn't remember. So when I wanted to hear this song, I found this video and I looked them up again. Just thought others who listened here may want to know too. As much as I wish I knew the Hebrew language, I do not.
I'm so happy to see Amy Grant again. El Shaddai was one of the first songs I loved as a new Christian, and I still teach 'Thy Word' in the children's Church till date.
This rendition of El Shaddai was so moving and powerful. Michael Smith really knows how to wring the right amount of gravitas and ethos with the piano accompaniment. He is a talented pianist and vocalist.Both of them are amongst the gospel greats." Thy Word" was well done, and those harmonies were tight and beautiful.
Bless you Amy. We all has gone through some tough times but I am so please you didn't give up your faith. He is always with you and thank God for his simple gospel. His love and His grace. I pray you will continue to grow closer to Him and be a blessing to many. I love this song, so meaningful.

I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
This is the first tiene I hear it in English. When I was a child I learned in Spanish. I used to sing this song all time. It is Nice to hear it again. I really enjoy it. Be blessed our God!
Amy Grant is one of my favorite christian artist,s, Ive been a christian for over 25 years, and still day one of my christian walk I,ve loved her music.
It's October 2020 & this song encourages me. It reminds me of the hope of trusting in God & His goodness in all circumstances. It is during this period that I am most thankful for another day that God gives me to live to see my family & friends.
I heard El Shaddai for the first time when Amy Grant came to Houston (The Summit?) in 1983 (I was 17). It was her Straight Ahead Tour that had me fall in love with Contemporary Christian music. The entire concert was INCREDIBLE. Today, 2020, one of my favorite songs is, "I Will Remember You."
this is a beautiful song. I sang it in primary school. my mum gave me Amy's greatest hits cassette tape when i was young so it's all i listened to. Back then, we didn't have a lot of choice. i went to sunday school until i was 16. now im atheist but still a good tune
Hey Jay...a beautiful story you got there even though it has a sad ending....even as an aetheist, God still loves you deeply, Christ's blood is still the ultimate sacrifice and purchase for you and i. How i pray that the lessons you picked way back in Sunday school.....will flood back to your precious heart.May the Holy Spirit accomplish it for you. Jesus loves you....He would do it all over again just for you alone 2000 yrs ago. Be blessed Jay.
I agree. With age, comes wisdom that we can only gain by experiencing life, which is often very hard. After so long, we realize we really can't do everything on our own and need God's help.
Nothing is more beautiful than a woman singing from her heart praising the Lord God. I don't think she could sing with this much feeling if it were not in her heart. Jesus came to save us from our sins, thats it! If He saved me, he can save anyone. He said " I come to give you a new comandment; that you love one another" Nuff said.
My first introduction to the song was when I first started going to church as a new Christian. The guy sang it and played guitar and I was floored. Didn't know what the words meant at the time but it didn't matter, I knew it was worship. Went out and looked for it on CD or maybe cassette and ran across Amy's album, and had no idea at the time she started out as a Christian singer. First Christian album I ever bought.
I love Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith! I'm in my early 30's and I hear their songs and remember my childhood. I'm so grateful my mom always played their music. May God continue to bless them and their music ministries

Amy has a heart of gold and a voice from the angels. I am so blessed to have seen her perform several times. Her music touches my soul in such a positive way. God Bless You Amy.
So very glad you are feeling better Mrs . Grant will keep you in my prayers . Lauren Daingle also asked me to keep you I'm my prayers . May the Lord Bless you and keep you and all of Israel ! Amen 🙏 God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
As my walk with Jesus grows, the more I come to realize that prayer is far more satisfying to PRAISE and THANK Jesus for what we do have, than ask Him for more. He is our Great King, and knows what we need better than what we do. Just thank Him for all that you have and all He will give you. Don't put out a laundry list of your desires, Just know He is God and will providw all good things that He knows will help us grow in Him. He is faithful to provide all we truely need,
Gorgeous voice and song. The first time we heard it was in our local church and was translated through a sign language professional and I gotta say...it has found a place in my memory and heart forevermore. Beautiful Amy Grant. Just beautiful. -Adele.
God's instrument. Listen and receive the spirit of God though his vessel. Its whats inside that matters. Love and peace to all. Forget the outside and see with spiritual eyes and hear with spiritual ears.. I just love these songs. They are a blessing.
O That was just Perfect Gorgeous Beautiful vocals and guitar and piano Great sounds and timing. Lovely Taylor cutaway guitar! Thank you for sharing. Gods Big happy blessings to you both. Stay safe and smiling. JB. East Surrey. UK.
Amy minister's to me so much with elsadi, I am adopted and my brother who is past had depression too, but my Mom really abused me because of it!! I forgive her but I am not alone, Jesus is my guide. Please pray for my daughter and Granddaughter daughter
I just realized the 2nd song "Thy Word" is the same song (translated into Indonesian) that i and my Sunday school friends used to sing every time before hearing the sermon and bible stories. This song brings back memories as a kid, I would spend almost half a day in the church on Sunday school with my friends. Although we were minors, we worshipped the Lord with all of our hearts, always excited during the bible stories are shared. This memory is anchored in our lives as adults and hopefully will stay strong until our very end.
Amy sings THY WORD MOST lovingly, courageously, respectfully and helpfully and strengthened me in my STRUGGLE CHRISTIAN ♡PATH☆ ! BLESS YOU AMY, love, johnnyo.
I've never heard this song better than a night in 1994 when I was riding on a bus going home to Joy Ranch Home for Children. It was cold that night but we heard the voices of angles that night. The voice was that of Laurie Underwood. In the dead of night she sang the entire song "El Shaddai". Her voice rang over all other noises that night. Mrs. Grant does great justice to the song, but for me it will never compare to that night.
What a wonderful way to start a week !God is Awesome, and we rejoice That Christ was born, we rejoice in our journey, and have hope and joy because He is coming again ! MY hope, my praise, my joy ! El Shaddai !
Fell in love with this song and Amy Grant while listening it on a cassette in the mid 1980's so fod of it I'd rewind and replay that song in the cassette.
I see a nature in Amy's presence that exudes comfort and a peace that we all search for in our quest to be better Christians. Thanks Amy for getting us a step closer to His love.
The Holy Spirit is male never female . PLease do not think that !!! God is Man ,Jesus is Man , Holy Spirit is Man, they are all ONE , Jesus was man when HE died on the cross and when He resurrected HE was Man.there is no part of HIm that is female.. HE is not a heavenly mother in any way! . Open his eyes Lord Jesus and fill Michael with the Truth.Truth is not cuddly nor easy . I wish I could talk with you . Love to you and Yours from the Father above. Holy Spirit reveal the truth .
Saw Amy in Bloomsbury, PA one year ago today. When she began to play the chords of this song, I got a chill down my spine. I had heard this song the morning of the concert. I loved what I had heard so much that I had it memorized it in a half hour and was singing and playing it on my better half, my 12 string guitar. My greatest musical experience was singing it from the front row with Amy. Wishing Amy Grant a healthy and blessed future.
Timeless and beautiful always a delight to hear these worshipful songs. Happy memories of my early Christian walk come flooding back. Praise God for His goodness to us!

2 of the greatest Christian artist of all time! We are blessed to be able to see/hear them. For helping all of us worship our God, thanks, Amy and Michael!
I 1st heard this song inside The Voice of Hope radio station in South Lebanon, 1983 with Linda Tkachuk and Bob n Margaret Bennett. We took gifts to children that had no opportunity to since the muslim uprising that destroyed that beautiful country. May they be free from all of the oppression and grief soon. In His Majesty's Name ,I pray ,still.
Yes she was given the voice of an angel and a platform to sing for God. The bible is all about repentance and forgiveness. Matt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. I dont know about you but I need grace and mercy every day.

When I first believed on Jesus I stopped listening to music altogether, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, I idolized those guys. The music itself was an idol to me. This song was one of the songs that got me to listening to music again. I couldn't understand most of the words but it was filled with the spirit, it always moves me.
Richard Freeman IT will be beyond our imagination , I can't wait to be in Gods kingdom together with my loved ones. Pray that we all be worthy. God bless us . Please bring all unsaved people to accept our Lord as our saviour. For Jesus wishes no one to perish. Amen. 🙏
Praise the Lord! We Glorify The Most high God who is the king of kings and no matter what happens I will still have faint in God Our faint has to be strong! We don't know what's coming in the future but only God knows and he is the one that Created us! I don't care if people say things about us and Strong Sisters and Brothers in Christ! if people say things about us what do we do? We ask God to forgive them because they don't know what they are doing. And we ask God To help to lead them into the right part. A prayer I made: God that u for the Beautiful day and Thank u for the Peaceful Night. I ask you now in your presence Lord Thank u for forgiving Us for our sins Thank u for Covering me and My family With your precious Blood. U are my Best friend! U are my healer! As the days pass I always will adore u and put your name above all names and God says " I will always be with u and never abandon u " I make this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus Christ AMEN!
Actually it’s going to be so magnificent that to His Faithful Church of Philadelphia Revelation 3:10-12 The Over comers are Promised a to be made a Pillar in His Temple 24/7 not to leave a little hard to imagine but it’s Got to be Fantastic to be an Award for ones Faithfulness 😊
January 30, 2021 As touching and as beautiful as the days when I used to flip the needle back and forth to these songs on both albums. To GOD be the glory!!!
One of my favorite songs. One day we all will stand before him, even those who do not believe in him will have to stand before him and answer to their lives. And those of us who can parse and life him high will be in the glory of eternal life. Heaven is real and it is time to move forward to the life eternal.
"El Shaddai..Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path..." Oh, sing it! Awesome! Thank you for your gifts of music. The deep Jewish roots of our faith should be sung deep into our hearts. Amen
El Shaddai will always be a timeless song. So thankful for this song over the years and how it has ministered to my soul in dark days and in joyful days. Thy Word has also been such a blessing to me over the years when I did not see my path ahead and felt so afraid. So thankful.
It's been years since I listened to praise music and it all came flossing back to me. This was one of my first praise songs and I still remember the words.

WOW!!! This is the verse I was given from The Holy Spirit as I was meditating one day several years back. It came so clear. Psalms 119: 105.) It is such a popular verse in prayers and in sharing The WORD, but this time it came as U was praying for guidance and to know Him more. So its clear, Read His WORD. It is The Lamb to thy feet and The Light to Thy Path. Amen. Blessings to all. ❤❤❤this Amys song. ELSHADAI... Thanks for sharing this video. SHALOM😊
I heard this message about God from Amy Grant when I was 14 in 85'. I did not want to go with my youth group. This concert was the beginning of a dialog from God through Amy Grant that I have listened to/heard from God through out my life. She's not perfect, wish she was, but nun of us are, Her songs seem to be my thoughts, feeling and questions to God .
Thank you Amy. You have been an inspiration since I at first heard you decades ago. May our God continue to bless you all the days of your life, till we see all in heaven.
Looking back 13 years. FOR SURE Amy Grant was and always will be a standard for Worship & Praise music 🎶. While Michael Smith was already accomplished..... what he had produced since that time ! His work is a very large part of my Playlist ▶️! As much as I cherish the music 🎶 I enjoy the videos all the more. The genuine look of Worshiping the Lord of Lord King of Kings, in their faces, at some point performing 🎭 day in and day out must become a grind, yet in that moment the genuineness of their faith, love, and praise always seems to shine through, May God continue to bless them with strength and perseverance in bringing plain folk to a hunger for the Lord Amen!
