You said, I Am

Pencil marks on the wall, i wasn't always this tall

You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed

You watched my team win

You watched my team lose

You watched when my bicycle went down again

And when i was weak, unable to speak

Still i could call You by name

And i said, Elbow Healer, Superhero

Come if You can

You said, I Am

Only sixteen, life is so mean

What kind of curfew is at 10pm?

You saw my mistakes

And watched my heart break

Heard when i swore i'd never love again

And when i was weak, unable to speak

Still i could call You by name

And i said, Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper

Be my best friend

And You said, I Am

You saw me wear white by pale candlelight

I said forever to what lies ahead

Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream

And when i am weak, unable to speak

Still i will call You by name

Shepherd, Saviour, Pasture Maker

Hold onto my hand

You say, I Am

The winds of change and circumstance blow in and all around us

So we find a foothold that's familiar

And bless the moments that we feel You nearer

When life had begun, i was woven and spun

You let the angels dance around the throne

And who can say when but they'll dance again

When i am free and finally headed home

I will be weak, unable to speak

Still i will call You by name

Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer

Comforter, Healer, my Redeemer

Lord and King, Beginning and the End

I Am

Yes I Am
