Learn to Play El Shaddai by Michael Card and John Thompson

In a most recent request from a user they asked us here at the Business and Musicians Forum about a song called El Shaddai. This song dates back to around the 1980's and was sung by Amy Grant. After listening to this song it had a very distinguishing feel to the song and was very unique. Here is the chord chart that we want to share with everyone.
