The title comes from a Judaic name of God, usually translated as "God Almighty" (see El Shaddai). Approximately half the lyrics of the chorus are in the Hebrewlanguage, which is rather unusual for a Contemporary Christian song. The recording was in the style of a performance ballad, but the song was subsequently published insome hymnbooks[2] and is occasionally sung congregationally.
The song was a hit single for Grant, reaching the top ten of the Billboard Christian chart.[1] "El Shaddai"won "Song of the Year" and Card won "Songwriter of the Year" at the 1983 GMA Dove Awards.[3] It was also named one of the "Songs of the Century" by the RIAA in 2001.[4]Before releasing her album Behind the Eyes in 1997, Grant released a CD single of "Takes a Little Time", which featured a newly-recorded version of the song. Performedin an intimate setting, this version was notable for the solo violin used throughout the recording.This version has never been made available on any album or compilation.Grant recorded another new version of the song for her 2005 album Rock of Ages...Hymns and Faith. "El Shaddai" has been covered by many contemporary Christian andgospel recording artists, including Pat Boone,[5] Winans Phase 2 [6] and Eden's Bridge. There also exist translated versions which combine Hebrew with other languages.
