Adonai

Written by Alan Law and Elton Smith
Links to contributors: Alan Law and Give-a-song, Rhesa Siregar

Alan is a songwriter in England. He contacted me about exchanging links. One thing led to another. Eventually he made a recording of Your Love Surrounds Me. He wrote the music for this song and some of the lyrics. I wrote the remainder of the lyrics. Many thanks to Rhesa Siregar for the fabulous midi. - Elton, March 20, 2005

I added the video in October 2023.


Lyrics


(Verse 1)
Adonai, want to meet You in the sky
Hand in hand, together we will fly
And as we're soaring
I can hear Your song
Yes, as we're soaring
I want to sing along
'Cause Adonai, You're the wind beneath my wings
Adonai, You're the song that makes my soul sing

(Chorus)
You are the power, the power that sets me free
Your strength is always resonating inside of me
I hear You calling
You're calling me to a place
Beyond the veil, into the light
I see Your face

(Verse 2)
Adonai, I want You to know
I love You unconditionally so
When I'm sad and lonely
You reach out for my hand
When I cry for mercy
You always understand
Oh Adonai, I've never met someone so kind
Adonai, You gave forgiveness I could never find

(Repeat Chorus)
You are the power, the power that sets me free
Your strength is always resonating inside of me
I hear You calling
You're calling me to a place
Beyond the veil, into the light
I see Your face

(Verse 3)
Adonai, the shadows fade away
Clearly now, more clearly every day
You reveal the beauty in all that You have planned
Eternal beauty created by Your hand
Adonai, communion soon will be so sweet
And Adonai, this thought makes my existence so complete

(Repeat Chorus)
You are the power, the power that sets me free
Your strength is always resonating inside of me
I hear You calling
You're calling me to a place
Beyond the veil, into the light
I see Your face

2011-04-25QUESTION-IN THE SONG, ARE THE WORDS PUTTING YOU AN ATMOSPHERE OF HEAVEN AND OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN THERE? IF SO, THEN THE WORDS "I SEE YOUR FACE" ARE SCRIPTURALLY CORRECT. IF THE SONG,IS SUNG IN THE PRESENT TENSE FORMAT THEN THE WORDS "I SEE YOUR FACE" ARE INCORRECT. "I'LL SEE YOUR FACE" WOULD BE CORRECT THEORETICALLY. "NOONE HAS SEEN THE FACE OF GOD" NOR WILL WE, UNTIL WE GET TO HEAVEN. CHRISTIANS BEWARE! "STUDY THE WORD OF GOD TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD." (IITIM. 2:15) WHEN YOU SING A SONG WITH LOVE, IT WILL EMBED A CONCEPT INTO YOUR HEART. THE SONG CAN PLANT SEEDS OF FAITH OR THE OTHER WAY. SELAH!

Lea2010-01-13Wonderful song, Alan and Elton! I heard it the very first time tonight and I wonder, why I haven´t found this song earlier. But maybe it was God´s timing to give this joy of music to me just tonight.
2008-11-04I found this song probably four years ago and I've never stopped loving it. I cry when I sing along to it at night sometimes, and I have friends that have deffinately said that this being one of my favorite songs, every time they hear it, they're reminded of me. I'm absolutely in love with every thought this song conveys. I'll never stop praising The Lord, and I love how music has given us such a wonderful way to do so.
Kelda2007-12-15Last year I had a single week in which one close friend and one close relative both died, its this site and this song really helped pull me through that terrible week. I'm not even a teen yet but I think this is one of the most christly uplifting site I'll ever see.
Chad Nayaw2007-11-26A wonderful song indeed, Loves it!

D.G.-Hfx, N.S Canada2007-08-27What a terrific song. I listened to this tonight for the first time , but played it over and over. The words and music fit it other wonderfully, and so praise worthly of our Lord and Savior and almighty God. Thanks for giving this gift of music. I'm considering singing this at my church!
2007-08-09Love the music and lyrics. Spirit filled.
Andrea Bonds2007-06-10The first time I heard this sound I was a young E4 in the military and the chaplain sang it for us. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I cried all the way through it.
