A song written by Michael Card goes like this:
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyona Adonai
Age to age you're still the same By the power of The Name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai, er kamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift you high, El Shaddai.
I'd like translations and improved transliterations/pronunciations of
the first and (especially) third lines. The Hebrew "words" I've
rendered above are merely copies of the text as handwritten for me.
My uncertain understanding so far is:
El God
Shaddai Almighty
Elyona Most High
Adonai Lord
I'm guessing there might be a "kana" in the third line - "to name, give
a name to". (This much I've gathered from an On-Line Bible tool which
includes a concordance and (transliterated) lexicon.)

Clarification: I'm aware of the not-so-good transliterations. (This
is, after all, one person's attempt to spell in English what he thinks
he heard someone sing.) The question I asked in .0 might better be:
What do you *think* is being said here?
