I Am

I am the light upon your path

When you have lost your way

I am the footprints in the sand

The 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 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 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
