El Elyon

Thinking today about how big God is and how small, weak and flawed I am. And how our Creator, for reasons known only to Him, desires to redeem and restore fallen man. Messianic worship leader Paul Wilbur captures this sense of wonder in the song "El Elyon" off his latest CD The Watchman. El Elyon is Hebrew for God Most High. The lyrics:

You sit enthroned above the circle of the earth
Spreading out the heavens like a veil
You hold the universe so firmly in Your hand
Reaching out in love to all the world

El Elyon Most High God
Holy is Your name
El Elyon Most High God
Holy is Your name

No one can know the secrets hidden in Your heart
Mysteries beyond the reach of man
No one else commands the sun to rise and then to fall
All creation heeds the great I AM

Elohim El Shaddai
Yeshua Adonai
Let the glory of Your name be magnified
Lord Most High
