I AM

Darkness, blinded mind;
Hands groping; stumbling,
Fumbling in the night;
Heart confused.
Where do I turn?
Who is the One who will light my world?
I AM!


Hungry, deep cravings;
Throat parched, thirsty,
Empty, no water in sight;
Heart seeking.
What will satisfy?
Who is the One who will feed my soul?
I AM!


Lost, running through the maze,
Can't get out, cold,
Alone, tired, wolves snarl and bite.
Heart lonely and afraid.
Where is my shepherd?
Who is the One who will seek me?
I AM!


Dying, mind fading,
Aching, pain, stress and strain,
Feeling no strength or might.
Heart sick and sinking.
Where is the meaning?
Who is the One who will give me life?
I AM!


Lonely, mind full,
Needing a friend, an ear, a shoulder,
Betrayed, let down, hurt.
Heart broken.
But who really cares?
Who is the One who will truly love me?
I AM!


Dirty, wicked,
Mind's thoughts, the work of my hands,
Hurting people and can't change.
Heart black and trapped.
Who can rescue me?
Who is the One who will make me clean?
I AM!


Beauty, mind full,
A flower, purple,
Orange sunset, lake rippling,
Stars twinkling in the night.
Heart dancing.
Where did it come from?
Who is the One who made this glory?
I AM!


Despised, rejected,
An outcast, weird,
Unfashionable, not PC,
A pilgrim, homeless in the night.
Heart set apart.
Who understands?
Who is the One who accepts me?
I AM!


Riches, status,
Reputation, ambition,
Worldly wisdom, pleasure,
"Wine sparkling bright."
Heart careless.
Where is the real treasure?
Who is the One worthy of my devotion?
I AM!


Who are You?
I AM YAHWEH,
The Eternal God,
Self-Existent.
I will be Who I was.


I AM your light.
I AM your food.
I AM your shepherd.
I AM your life.
I AM your lover.
I AM your righteousness.
I AM the giver of all good gifts.
I AM He Who accepts you.
I AM your treasure.

I AM!
