6. El Chuwl ~ The God Who Gave You Birth
Isaiah 43, 1-3b says, "But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed
thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior."
Related Scripture: Psalm 139:13-18
Meaning in a Song - Oceans
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
And I will call upon Your Name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Saviour
7. El Deah ~ God of Knowledge
You think about His omniscience, He knows everything. God is the God of all knowledge. God inhabits
eternity. God sees the beginning. God sees the middle. God sees the end. God sees it all at one time.
God is all-knowing - He can't learn anything. Romans 11:34 says, "For who hath known the mind of
the Lord? or who hath been His counsellor?" We don't have to know all that our Father does for Him
to be our Father.
Related Scripture: 1 Samuel 2:3, Romans 11:33-36, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
8. El Roi ~ The God Who Sees
El Roi was first revealed in the Bible by Hagar. She was Sarah's handmaiden, who became pregnant
with Abraham's child so, in their minds, they could fulfill the promise of God. Soon after the child was
conceived, things became very difficult between Sarah and her. So much so, that Hagar fled out into
the wilderness. Friendless, homeless, pregnant, not knowing what would become of her, she laid
down by a fountain in the wilderness. There, an angel appeared to her to give her comfort and to
speak of God's grace and mercy. Genesis 16:13 says: "And she called the name of the LORD that spake
unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?" Did you
know that God sees you right now? God knows your very thoughts. His eye is on the sparrow and I
know He watches me.
Related Scripture: Genesis 16:13, Genesis 16:1-16, Psalm 33:18-19
Meaning in a song – The God Who Sees
Hagar was a single mother
She was abandoned by the family she belonged to
And there in the wilderness with her son alone
With very little provision
She was wondering
She was questioning
Does anyone care?
[Verse 1]
She's crying in the desert
She's lost in her despair
She thinks nobody loves her
Hagar thinks nobody's there
But God says
[Chorus 1]
I will be a ring of fire around her
And I will be the glory in her midst
And the power of my presence
Will bring her to her knees
And I will lift her up again
For I'm the God who sees
I'm the God who sees
[Verse 2]
Then He speaks in gentle whispers
And He softly calls her name
She feels His arms enfold her
As He holds her
And she'll never be the same
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm the God who never changes
And My promises are true
And when this world deserts you
This is what I'll do
[Interlude 1]
And there is another woman named Ruth
She was from the land of Moab
And she was met with grief and heartache
She was a widow and she lived with her mother-in-law, who was also a widow
And now it was time to move on
But Ruth had never been to Bethlehem
She had never tasted of the House of Bread
But now she had heard an inner invitation to come and taste and see
And so she vowed herself to her mother-in-law
And she said where you go I will go
Where you lie I will lie
Where you die I will die
And she begins a journey to the Promised Land
[Verse 3]
She's traveling through the desert
And she's leaving her despair
She's hoping for a future
Praying God will lead her there
And He says
[Chorus 2]
I will put a ring around you finger
And I will bless a child within your womb
And the Savior will be born through you
To free the world from sin
And He'll make all things new for you
And love you back to life again, again
[Interlude 2]
And then from Ruth who gave birth to a son
Obed who gave birth to a son
Jesse who gave birth to a son
Named David
Now the same, once shepherd boy
Mighty warrior, anointed king is alone
Terrified in the darkness
[Verse 4]
He's hiding in the desert
He's battling despair
David thinks his life is over, it's over
And God, He doesn't care
But God says
[Chorus 3]
I will be the Rock of your salvation
I'll hold you up by the strength of My right hand
And the power of My Spirit
Will free you from all fear
In the hour of your deepest need
You'll find that I am near
I am here
[Chorus 4]
And I will be a ring of fire around you
And I will be the glory in your midst
And the power of My presence
Will bring you to your knees
Then I will lift you up again
For I'm the God who sees
[Interlude 3]
And then from the line of David
Finally, Jesus the Messiah
The Anointed One, Yeshua, the Christ
Born in the same House of Bread to be the Bread of Life
In the town of Bethlehem
And He would grow
And He would be called the Son of God
He would be called Emmanuel, God With Us
And He would heal, and He would reveal
And then He had an encounter with a woman
Named Mary of Magdalen who was plagued by demons
Tormented by evil spirits, and Jesus set her free
And Mary followed Him, she listened at His feet
She served Him, and she loved Him
Oh how she loved Him
But then she watched as they nailed Him to the cross
And as they placed His body in the tomb
In that moment her hope died, it died
[Verse 5]
She's crying in the garden
She's broken in despair
She's searching for her Savior
But His body isn't there
Then He says, Mary
[Chorus 5]
Glory, glory, glory, Hallelujah
I will be the glory in Your midst
And every knee will bow to Me
And every tongue confess
Yes all the world will worship Me
In all My Holiness
[Chorus 6]
I will be a ring of fire around you
And I will be the glory in your midst
And the power of My presence
Will bring you to your knees
And I will lift you up again
For I'm the God who sees, who sees
I'm the God who sees
[Outro]
Oh I'm the God who sees, I see you
I'm the God who sees you in your wilderness
Sees you in your brokenness
When you're feeling lonely, I'm the God who sees
In the desert places, in your empty spaces
I'm the God who sees
I'm nearer than you dare believe
Here in the very air you breathe
I'm the God who sees…..you
9. El Elyon ~ The God Most High
The word means the strongest of the strong and the highest of the high. He is the transcendent God.
He is above all. He is the Most High God. Jesus is our El Elyon. Colossians 1:16-17 says, "For by Him
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And
He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." God is above all things.
Related Scripture: Genesis 14:18-20; Psalm 61:2; 92:1; Daniel 7:25
Meaning in a song – Above All
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the Earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the Earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
10. El Olam ~ The Everlasting God
God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Psalm 90:1-2 says, "Lord, thou hast
been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou
hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." Time does
not alter God. Psalm 90:4 says, "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the night."
Related Scripture: Genesis 3:22; Genesis 21:33, Psalm 90:1-2, Psalm 93:2, Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah
26:4, Isaiah 40:28
Meaning in a song – From the Inside Out
A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out,
Lord, let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
11. El Shaddai ~ God Almighty
The name El Shaddai appears seven times in the Word of God. Genesis 17:1-2 says, "And when Abram
was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty
God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect. And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and
will multiply thee exceedingly."
Related Scripture: Genesis 17:1-19, Genesis 28:3; Genesis 35:11, Genesis 43:14, Genesis 48:3, Exodus
6:2-3, Ruth 1:20, Job 5:17, Ezekiel 10:5, Psalm 91:1
Meaning in a song – Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
Early in the morning my song shall rise to thee
Holy. holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
All the cherubim and seraphim are falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see
Lord, only Thou art holy and there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
You are God in three persons, blessed Trinity
You are God in three persons, blessed Trinity
Oh, God in three persons, blessed Trinity
12. Elohim/Elohiym ~ The Creator
Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." It literally says, "In the
beginning Elohim, Elohim created the heaven and the earth." That's the Hebrew word from two root
words: El, which means strength and unlimited power. And the last part of is allah, which means to
keep a promise. Elohim is also a plural noun. I believe that right here on the threshold of the Bible we
see an indication of the nature of God, as shown in the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit. All three were present in creation (see John 1:3). Aren't you glad we find the
Savior in chapter 1, verse 1? Aren't you glad we find the Holy Spirit in chapter 1, verse 1? Aren't you
glad we find the Father in chapter 1, verse 1 of the Word of God?
Related Scripture: Genesis 1:1-3, Genesis 3:3, Isaiah 40:28, Isaiah 54:5, Psalm 19:1-6, Psalm
95:6, Nehemiah 9:17; Hebrews 1:8, Hebrews 11:3
Meaning inside a song – God of Wonders
Lord of all creation
Of water, earth and sky
The Heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares your Majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares your Majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth
13. Yahweh ~ The Self-Existent One
The name Jehovah is used some 6,800 times in the Bible. It is the personal covenant name of Israel's
God. In the King James version of the Bible, it's translated Lord God. Not only does it speak of God's
strength, but also it speaks of the sovereignty of God and the goodness of God. The root of this name
means "self-existing," one who never came into being, and one who always will be. When Moses
asked God, "Who shall I tell Pharaoh has sent me?" God said, "I AM THAT I AM." Jehovah or Yahweh is
the most intensely sacred name to Jewish scribes and many will not even pronounce the name. When
possible, they use another name.
Related Scripture: Isaiah 40:3, 1 Samuel 1:20, Exodus 6:1-4, Exodus 3:1-22, John 6:35, John 8:12, John
10:7, John 11:25, John 14:6
Meaning in a song – Jehovah (Peace)
I will worship the Lord,
For He is worthy;
I will lay down my sword,
The Prince Of Peace is His name.
King of the flood,
The Lord is mighty;
The Lord can quench the evil flame.
Peace when trouble blows,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah knows;
He is my peace, when sorrow nears,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah hears.
Feel the presence of God,
Upon the water,
Hear the voice of the Lord,
Within the thunder that rolls,
King of the flood,
The Lord is mighty,
The Lord can calm the troubled soul.
Peace when trouble blows,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah knows;
He is my peace, when sorrow nears,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah hears
Like the breath,
I need to live,
Jehovah takes, Jehovah gives;
Gives me peace,
When trouble blows,
Jehovah sees, Jehovah knows.
Judgement coming, He is my peace;
Men pursue me, He is my peace.
Judge! Judgement is coming, He is my peace;
Men pursue me, He is my peace
14. Yahweh-Bore ~ The LORD Creator
Can you imagine what a modern writer would do if he tried to describe the creation of the heavens
and the earth? Even if he believed in God, what an avalanche of adjectives he would pour out! What
double-jointed and obtuse terms he would have to use to describe the creation of the earth! Aren't
you glad that God said it, surely, sweetly, sublimely, and simply: "In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth." How beautiful that is. It always tickles me when I read about how scientists
are trying to discover the mystery of the creation of the universe. They just scratch their heads and
say, "We've got to go back to the laboratory now, a lot of things we thought we knew we didn't
know." God just spoke and it was so.
Related Scripture: Genesis 1:1, Psalm 33:6, Isaiah 40:28-31, Job 38:1-41, Job 39:1-30, Job 40:1
15. Yahweh-Nissi ~ The LORD My Banner
The Lord is a reigning banner over us all the time. The Hebrew for "banner" comes from the root word
"to be high" or "raised." This was the name given to the altar that Moses erected to commemorate
the defeat of the Amalekites at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-15). He goes before us and behind us to give
us the victory in all circumstances of life. Even in the midst of the battle, the banner of the Lord is
raised over us. Psalm 23:5 says, "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Who is the God who prepares a table of
celebration in the presence of the enemy? When the enemy shall come in like a flood, then shall the
Lord hold up a banner before him. The victory in all of life is the Lord's.
Related Scripture: Exodus 17:15
Meaning in a song – Mighty Warrior
There was a banner dance that went together with this song – so that’s the connection.
(I found the song online woo-hoo!)
Chorus 1
Mighty Warrior
Dressed for battle
Holy Lord of all is He
Commander in Chief
Bring us to attention
Lead us into battle
To crush the enemy
Verse 1
Satan has no authority
Here in this place
He has no authority here
For this habitation
Was fashioned for the Lord's presence
No authority here
Verse 2
Jesus has all authority
Here in this place
He has all authority here
For this habitation
Was fashioned for the Lord's presence
All authority here
16. Yahweh-Raah/Rohi ~ The LORD My Shepherd
Psalm 23 and John 10 are the most beautiful descriptions of God as our Shepherd, Jehovah Rajah.
When we say "Lord," we think of God's deity. When we say "my Shepherd," we think of God's
humanity. God in human form - Jesus Christ - prophesized in the Old Testament and revealed in the
New Testament. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. As the Good
Shepherd, He dealt with the penalty of sin. As the Great Shepherd, He deals with the power of sin. As
the Chief Shepherd, He's coming to take us from the very presence of sin.
Related Scripture: Psalm 23, Psalm 80:1, Psalm 95:7, Isaiah 40:11, Jeremiah 31:10, Ezekiel
34:12, Matthew 25:32, John 10:11-27, Hebrews 13:20-21, 1 Peter 2:25
Meaning in a song – Shepherd of my soul
Shepherd of my soul I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made the choice to listen for Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
Shepherd of my soul I give You full control
Wherever You may lead I will follow
I have made the choice to listen for Your voice
Wherever You may lead I will go
Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle breeze
The shepherd of my soul is by my side
Should I face a mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep
The shepherd of my soul will be my guide
17. Yahweh-Rapha ~ The LORD That Healeth
He is the Almighty Lord, our healer.
Related Scripture: Exodus 15:26, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 6:2, Psalm 41:4, Psalm 103:3, Psalm
147:3, Isaiah 19:22, Isaiah 30:36, Jeremiah 3:22, Jeremiah 17:14, Matthew 8:7, Luke 4:18
Meaning in a song – Healer
You hold my very moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You, I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe
And I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
You hold my very moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You, Lord I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
Oh, I believe
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
Oh, yes You are, yes You are
And I believe You're my portion
Lord I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
More than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
You're my healer
I was stricken with Covid-19 and I have a beautiful friend who prayed for me and with me. On the day
I went to see the doctor, the doctor said my lungs were clear. And another ailment I was dealing with
seem to normalize itself even before hitting the weight range. Grateful. I do believe that Jesus heals.
I’m also learning to claim His promises. I guess life is one step at a time but we can finish this race
well.
18. Yahweh-Shalom ~ The LORD Is Peace
The Lord greeted Gideon in peace, so he built an altar and named it "The LORD is Peace" (see Judges
6:23-24). You have probably heard the blessing "Shalom" from Jewish friends and acquaintances. It
means peace. More importantly it means the Lord, our peace. Where does the Shepherd lead His
sheep? Beside peaceful, still waters. "He leads me beside the still waters; He makes me lie down in
green pastures" (Psalm 23:2). When your heart is content, you are at peace. And where does that
contentment come from? The grace of God. There's no man more discontent than one who is not
experiencing the amazing grace of God. Only in Jesus, will you find security, sufficiency, and serenity.
Related Scripture: Genesis 49:10, Judges 6:23-24, Psalm 4:8, Psalm 29:11, Proverbs 16:7, Isaiah
26:3, 2 Thessalonians 3:16
Meaning in a song – Let the Peace of God Reign
Father of life draw me closer
Lord, my heart is set on You
Let me run the race of time
With Your life unfolding mine
And let the peace of God
Let it reign
Oh Holy Spirit, Lord my comfort
Strengthen me, hold my head up high
And I stand upon Your truth
Bringing glory unto You
And let the peace of God
Let it reign
Oh Lord, I hunger for more of You
Rise up within me, let me know Your truth
Oh Holy Spirit, saturate my soul
And let the life of God, fill me now
Let Your healing power
Breathe life and make me whole
And let the peace of God
Let it reign
19. Yahweh-Shammah ~ The LORD is There
Psalm 139:7 asks, "Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?" And
what is the answer? God is omnipresent. He's everywhere. Somebody said that God is a circle whose
center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere. There is not a murmur, but that He hears
it. There's not a movement, but that He sees it. There's not a motive, but that He knows it. Neither
Death, darkness, nor distance can hide us. When I am discouraged, His presence sees me through.
When I am lonely, His presence cheers me up. When I am worried, His presence calms me down.
When I am tempted, His presence helps me out.

Meaning in a song – Your Love
Where can I go from Your Spirit
How can I escape Your love
Your love for me is deeper than the sea
And higher than the heavens above
Where can I flee from Your presence
Now that You abide in my heart
My heart is Your home
Your temple, Your throne
So what could ever keep us apart
Chorus:
Your love
Is higher than the heavens
Your love
Is deeper than the ocean
Nothing in creation could take me away from Your love
Your love
There is nothing greater
Your love
There is nothing stronger
You came to me, gave Your life
So I could be free
Bridge:
I am persuaded that neither death nor life
Can separate us from the love of God
Nothing in the present and nothing to come
Can take me away from Your infinite love
20. Yahweh-Yireh/Jireh ~ The LORD Will Provide
Yireh is from the same Hebrew word as Moriah, which is the name of the region where God sent
Abraham to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22). In Genesis 22:11-13, we read, "And the angel of the LORD
called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, Lay
not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest
God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes,
and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and
took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son." God provided the lamb.
And Abraham called the place Yahweh-Yireh - God is our substitutionary sacrifice.

Group Reflection Notes:
1. Wilson: It takes a holy foundation to receive an anointing from God. It takes a heart that
desires holiness. It takes a spirit of righteousness to reject sin so we need to draw from God.
2. Rouselle: God is eternal – God has no beginning and no end. God created us before God
created the universe.
3. Joanna: God is eternal, He is everything – be humble to receive God as who He is.
4. Crystal / Wilson’s Wife: God is omniscient. I can never truly understand God. Humans must
work hard to study and know things. It’s cool that God knows everything.
5. Catherine: He is the Spirit, He is everything. He is eternal.
6. Anna: Knowing all these things about God, one thing I learned tonight is the moral attributes,
God doesn’t just want us to know Him but for us to follow after – to keep our container pure
and holy to contain the holiness of God.
7. Alvin: The key is that we have to be obedient and submissive to God. There are sometimes
where we need to let go of ourselves and let God do it.
8. Shoba: I love the approach taken to talk about the doctrine of God. God doesn’t seem so
distant. God intentionally wants us to get closer to Him (communicable) and be like Him.
