Lyrics: Praise To Yah

This song evolved probably the most out of all the songs on this album.
As we began recording, Lori and Heiko could hear the celebration and praise in it and an African choir kind of sound throughout!
So they changed the tempo and instruments, recorded a choir from their own voices and put this beautiful song together which we pray will really uplift and encourage others to Praise Yah!
- Lusi
Please note:  El Shaddai is God Almighty in Hebrew.

The 'SHEMA' in verse three is the prayer that is found in Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear of Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD our God is one'. This is the first part of this prayer.
When Yeshua was asked which commandment was the greatest in the Torah, he responded by QUOTING THE SHEMA.


Also, the lyrics for the vocal echoes appear below in parenthesis.
