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
