Nyali (The Lamp) Lyrics

English translation

El Shaddai is always with us

We begin our day with El Shaddai

We go about our day with El Shaddai

He's still present with us even when dreaming

Have you heard that witchcraft is real?

Have you ever heard that dreaming of being chased or eating meat

Means someone is witching you?

Does this sound familiar or am I just making it up?

Honestly, we have a serious issue here that needs to be addressed

It demands that we seek for truth

With truth Satan won't deceive us because of ignorance

First, let's tackle the question of origin

What's the source of such claims?

Does it come from a certain book?

If so, who's the author and where's he from?

No matter how hard we research on this

Our discovery will show that most of these claims are hearsay

They're simply ancient folktales, myths passed down for generations

I mean, what's wrong with dreaming about meat?

Don't witches eat vegetables?

Should we say there's no witching with dreams of eating pumpkin leaves or cabbage?

At the end of the day, folktales aren't a Christian's guide

Neither are we led by our dreams

The only rule that directs us is the Word of God

Contained both in the Old Testament and the New Testament

God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path

It's the foundation of our faith

Folktales on witchcraft will never be our guide!

In fact, El Shaddai is always with us

We begin our day with El Shaddai

We go about our day with El Shaddai

He's still present with us even when dreaming

In the Old Testament, when God made covenants with His people

Oftentimes an animal would be cut in half as the sign of that covenant

This pointed forward to Christ's death and His blood shed on the cross

Hence, there's nothing inherently wrong with meat or dreaming of eating it

It's true Scripture shows us that witchcraft does exist

Nonetheless, it doesn't say much on it's actual practice

Surprisingly, some preachers have an unhealthy interest in witchcraft

They labor so hard explaining every detail on how it's actually practiced

But how does that information edify the Church?

Such unscriptural teachings only breed fear in the hearts of men

Whereas the preaching of God gives courage

The Holy Spirit's atmosphere is of power in Yahweh and not fear

With Him you're certain the Lord is with you

You're so confident God is right present with you, so close to you

Plus all that's written in the Scriptures is sufficient for our salvation

The focus of God's Word is on revealing Yahweh to us

Making Him known to us

It's goal isn't to educate us on details concerning the practice of witchcraft

It's purpose isn't equipping us on identifying witches or warlocks

Remember also the Lord watches over us when asleep

He never slumbers nor sleeps

He's right present with us when having either good or bad dreams

Therefore, child of God, fear not!
