“El Shaddai (I See You In Everything)” is a reverent and melodic worship offering from Collective Worth, featuring the tender and expressive voice of Laura Cashman. Originally written by James Billington as a lullaby and inspired by the timeless grace of “Edelweiss” from The Sound of Music, the song carries a peaceful, prayerful spirit that comforts and uplifts.

Produced by acclaimed studio veteran Jim Ebert, “El-Shaddai” blends Hebrew and English in a poetic invocation of God’s glory. The phrase “Baruch Ata Adonai”—meaning “Blessed are You, Lord”—is woven into a tapestry of worshipful lyrics that praise God’s holiness, sovereignty, and gentle presence.

“El-Shaddai” is more than a song—it’s a declaration of faith, a reflection of beauty, and a reminder that God is visible in everything.

Lyrics:

El Shaddai
El Shaddai
Baruch Ata Adonai
Praise be to His Holy name 
He rules with power and glory

His Majesty shines so bright 
A beautiful and precious sight 
El Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything 

Dark clouds roll by 
But I don't cry 
They roll along with the wind 
My El Shaddai 
Bridge over night 
That leads me into the sunlight 

El Shaddai
El Shaddai 
Baruch Ata Adonai 
Praise be to the Risen King
His throne is highest and holy

His Majesty shines so bright
A beautiful and precious sight
El-Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything 

Dark clouds roll by 
But I don't cry 
They roll along with the wind 
My El-Shaddai 
Bridge over night 
That leads me into the sunlight

El Shaddai 
El Shaddai 
Baruch Ata Adonai 
El Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything 
I see you in everything 

El Shaddai
El Shaddai 
Baruch Ata Adonai 
El Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything 

El Shaddai
El Shaddai 
A beautiful and precious sight 
El Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything 

El Shaddai 
El Shaddai 
A beautiful and precious sight 
El Shaddai My God Most High 
I see you in everything
