EL Shaddai

 
El Shaddai

When you're in the doldrums
And life has got you down:
You're overwhelmed and burdened
Swamped and gone aground...
 
Call upon the Savior;
He hears your every cry.
He has a fleet of angels
Waiting on stand-by.
 
He'll pull you through the knot hole
And out the other side.
You'll come out triumphant;
They'll be a changing of the tide.
 
Through all obstacles and opposition
You're on the winning side:
You will always be the victor
Through the Lord our El Shaddai.
 
Poem inspired by a sermon series by Rev. Merle L. Mitchell on the "Glorified Christ Revealed" delivered on 1/24/16 and a statement made that through El Shaddai ,"We can triumph over all obstacles and opposition". 

*El Shaddai is the Hebrew name for God Almighty who is the all powerful one, the all sufficient one, all bountiful one.
