THE GREAT I AM

I AM HE
The one spoken of centuries ago 
By your prophets and scholars 

The fresh wind promised from the east
That would blow on your deprived souls 
And heal your broken hearts

But at my arrival 
Even though my face like the sun
Shone upon your darkness of a world 
You were unable to recognized my voice

Your eyes were closed to my glory 
Your ears were muffled 
By sins corrosive sounds
And your hearts became as stones
Worthless and unproductive 

Yet I have loved you
Despite you rejection of my love

I've sought you out 
Like a lost sheep I brought you forth 
From the valley of the shadow of death 
Into my everlasting arms of safety 
For I AM HE..

Your Savior, sustainer and redeemer 
The Righteous One
The Great I AM.
