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
