The Unchanging God Almighty

Captain Sensible writes: One of the most beautiful songs ever is, in my opinion, El Shaddai.
I love the way the awesome might of God is pondered in such a gentle, haunting melody...
God is unchanging. His tender, loving care for the barren and broken-hearted still applies. His hatred of injustice still applies.
I love the line in this song: "To the outcast on her knees, You were the God who really sees."
I think it must really pain God when He witnesses the shameful misogyny, or even just the unloving contentment lectures, that are directed at women who are grieving for a husband and children.
Rather: "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord" (Psalm 113:9)
Here are the lyrics to this song, and a reminder of what El Shaddai means is here.
May our Almighty God especially bless and comfort my sisters in Christ as you listen to this song, and may all reading this who do not yet know His amazing love be touched with the Holy Spirit as they listen.

Amy Grant: El Shaddai.
