Blast from the Past:Church Edition

So I haven't always been a mormon. I was raised in a wonderful presbyterian church to which I often return. Such wonderful people, wonderful principles, so much truth. There are a few songs that are known by many contemporary Christian music fans. This saboth day I stop to ponder on two. Thy Word, and El Shaddai. I've sang them both at some point or another in the church I grew up in. I know this post may seem long, but I promise all who read will be strengthened through the words.


Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid,
And think Ive lost my way.
Still, youre there right beside me
.Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet,
My heart forever is wandering.
Jesus by my guide,
And hold me to your side,
And I will love you to the end.

Nothing will I fear
As long as you are near;
Please be near me to the end

.Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feetAnd a light unto my path.

And a light unto my path.

Youre the light unto my path.

El shaddai, el shaddai,El-elyon na adonia,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,Erkamka na adonai,
We will praise and lift you high,El shaddai.

Through your love and through the ram,
You saved the son of abraham;
Through the power of your hand,
Turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees,
You were the God who really sees,
And by your might,You set your children free.

El shaddai, el shaddai,El-elyon na adonia,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,Erkamka na adonai,
We will praise and lift you high,El shaddai.

Through the years youve made it clear,
That the time of christ was near,
Though the people couldnt see
What messiah ought to be.
Though your word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your son.

El shaddai, el shaddai,El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,Erkamka na adonai,
I will praise yo till I die,El shaddai.

El shaddai, el shaddai,El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age youre still the same,
By the power of the name.

shaddai, el shaddai,Erkamka na adonai,

I will praise you till I die.

El shaddai.
