Mark Schultz - I Am

I am the maker of the heavens
I am the bright and morning star
I am the breath of all creation
Who always was
And is to come

I am the one who walked on water
I am the one who calmed the seas
I am the miracles and wonders
So come and see
And follow me
You will know

Chorus:
I am the fount of living water
The risen son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am

I am the spirit deep inside you
I am the word upon your heart
I am the one who even knew you
Before your birth
Before you were

Chorus

Bridge:
Before the earth (I am)
The universe (I am)
In every heart (I am)
Oh, where you are (I am)
The lord of love (I am)
The king of kings (I am)
The holy lamb (I am)
Above all things

Chorus

Yes, I am almighty god your father
The risen son of man
The healer of the broken
And when you cry
I am your savior and redeemer
Who bore the sins of man
The author and perfecter
Beginning and the end
I am


Mark Schultz is one talented singer and songwriter. I just love the lyrics of his songs, and also the melody and how he delivers them. I have to admit that this song, when I first hear it, was not my favourite song. In fact, in some point of time, when the radio is playing this song I was hoping that the next song comes faster.

But there was one day when I was working and this song was playing, I unconsciously listened to the lyrics of the song (although this was not my favourite song previously, I still know the lyrics) and it was quite an experience! I was reminded again that Jesus is the maker of the heaven, the one who walked on water, the risen son of man, the healer of the broken, the beginning and the end.

I felt like Jesus was telling me more about Himself to me through that song, although I have known all that from the Bible. It's so personal. I worshipped Him at that moment, acknowledging that He is who He claims to be. He is my God, my Father, my everything!
