I Am

I am the light upon your path
when you have lost your way
I am the footprints in the sand t
he ocean’s tide can’t wash away
I am the shelter from the storm
that rages on and on
The incorruptible foundation
that the wise man builds upon
I am the bread that feeds
a starving man upon the street
I am the bounty on the table
in the palace at the feast
I am the rain upon the earth
after a scorching drought
I am the quenching of the thirst
you never thought you’d be without

I am the melody
that weaves its way inside your soul
I am the symphony, the masterpiece,
the actor’s greatest role
I am the poetry
that speaks to you with every rhyme
I am the songwriter
who seems to write your life in every line
I am the simple truths
that shaped your world from your birth
I am the vast volumes of knowledge
spanning all across the earth
I am the whisper of the wind
you feel, but cannot see
I am the alpha and omega,
first and last, eternally

I AM
You cannot see me
I AM
The resurrection and the life,
the doorway and the vine, I AM
I AM
You cannot touch me
I AM
The bread of life, light of the world,
long before Abraham, I AM

I am the trusting child
whose simple faith is ever sure
I am the parent’s love,
unchanging, unconditional and pure
I am the loyal friend
whose heart will never let you down
I am the hand that pulls you back
into the boat before you drown
I am the thunder and the glory
and the blinding light
I am the still small voice
that tells you what is wrong and what is right
I am the sacrificial lamb
a guilty world reviled
I am the father ever waiting
for his lost and wayward child

I AM
You cannot see me
I AM
The resurrection and the life,
the doorway and the vine, I AM
I AM
You cannot touch me
I AM
The bread of life, light of the world,
long before Abraham, I AM

I am the heart
of the righteous desire
and the fourth man
you see in the midst of the fire
I am the giver of life
and the promise of Israel
I am the hope of the lonely and lost in the blood
running down to the foot of the cross
I am the breaking of chains
and the tolling of freedom’s bell
I am the notes that eternally ring
in the music too holy for angels to sing
I am the fire on the altar
consuming the sacrifice
I am the three and yet
I am the one in the grace of the
Father and death of the Son
I am the one who redeemed
you by paying the highest price

I am grace and mercy, I am sacrifice
I am endless glory, I am light and life
I am long-awaited hope of Israel
I am longing sated, prophecy fulfilled

I am from the beginning of time,
and I am sustaining the system of life
I am symmetry, reason and rhyme,
and I am conviction that cuts like a knife

I am the author of order and flow
I am the Father of Lights: watch me put on a show!
I am the seeker of all gone astray
I am the keeper of souls ‘til the end of all days

I am power, I am glory,
I am love’s unending story
I am justice, I am honor,
I am hope and living water
I am righteous, I am holy,
I am three and one and only
I am sovereign, I am faithful,
everlasting, I AM that I AM


I am humility, the one who laid it all aside
Traded a crown of kings
for a crown of thorns, betrayed by human pride
I am humanity,
took on your curse and all your pain
I am divinity, eternity, forever I remain

I am your guilty scars,
as Roman soldiers tear my back
I am the crimson stain
that washes all the souls faded to black
I am the one
who bled in silence and endured it all
I am the Word who spoke no word,
with a thousand angels waiting for my call

I am your covenant
Your hero in these bloodstained pages
I am your guilt, your sin
Your debt fulfilled for all the ages
I step into your shoes, your substitute
Your sacrifice
Your raison d’etre
Your second chance
Your breath of life
I AM

I am the joy of angels
dancing in the streets of heaven
I am the sinner’s prayer
for mercy and a past forgiven
I am the lamb
upon the altar dying willingly
All hope that was
All hope that is
All hope to be
I AM
